Ah! The Church Con up Ossy. I remember it well. Opened by Joe Mortimer who ran Joe Morts rock and roll club above Kingdom Hall on Blackburn Road adjacent to the railway bridge for youngsters who still preferred real dancing. You know waltz, quickstep, foxtrot, tango and a selection of Olde Tyme dancing like the Barn Dance, Paul Jones etc.

Sadly it wasn’t well patronised and closed after a few months but it was great while it lasted.
