Can anyone tell me is the dance place on Knowlemere Street still there, or do I have pipe dreams and fond memories.

no its now a storage room for an electronics company but it could have been a lot worse
plans were put forward to turn it into a mosque but the nice lady who bought the rosette company attatched to it also purchased the dance hall putting an end to the plans for a mosque used to live 30 feet away from the place used to go there as a kid for the kids disco lol |

I went there for lessons in ballroom dancing on sunday afternoons.
The place always smelt strongly of cat pee. |

Don't remember the smell of cat pee in the mid/late '50s and I spent a lot of time there, on Saturday nights - as one lady on here will remember:-)

The cat pee smell was when a chap named Cliff (I think) ran it.

I used to try to go there, but my mother thought it was a den of iniquity, and threatened me with all kinds of disasters if it was found that I had visited.
All the 'bad' girls at my school used to go there on a Saturday Night....they made it sound very attractive.....but alas, I never made it there or to Joe Mort's either(another place mother warned me off). |

Wasn't urine waste Margaret ... 'twas that bloody awful 'pilot' deodorant (not antiperspirant) .. hek, can't remember its name, was in a lilac container and supposed to smell of lavender/parma violets, but did smell of cat pee. Funny, in a dance hall you had your favourite spot to stand ... mine was on the left hand wall as you walked in at that little paying window. The boys always seemed to stand diagonally to this ... :D |
Re: Knowlemere Street dance
Great times Saturday nights late 50s. Don,t remember any bad smell though, probably because of the brilliantine?sp? Like a very smelly brylcreme.
