We used to check the toilets cisterns every night at the Cav etc, always found plenty of purses stuffed in there, but always in the ladies, very rarely in the gents:rolleyes:

Re: Favorite Memories of Accrington
 

I was having a discussion in the Read Con Club last night with one or two other chaps about a Casino or nightclub I used frequent in the 60's, none seemed to remember it.

I hope that this is not the wrong thread on which to ask the question but knowing some of you oldies are a fountain of knowledge when it comes to boozers I though you may be able to help.
The place in question was situated a few hundred yards on the Burnley side of Brierfield traffic lights, on the right going towards Nelson. I used to go over from Todmorden with a few mates about twice a month.

I seemed to remember going upstairs to a room with roulette wheel and other gambling tools.
Can anybody else remember it and what it was called.
i am not dreaming because the one thing which sticks in my mind was the amount of money I lost one night in the 60's
I played the wheel with half a crown on the red and doubled up each time I lost.
I had got up to sixteen pound stake and was told that twenty five was the house limit so i couldn't double up anymore.
I lost the lot and never again did I gamble, even the nags or dogs.

Anybody any idea what it was called?

Re: Favorite Memories of Accrington
 

There was the Casino Club thereabouts.
I recall seeing Micheal Bentine perform there.

Re: Favorite Memories of Accrington

Re: Favorite Memories of Accrington

Re: Favorite Memories of Accrington
 

Also a games room with a snooker table I was only a child but I remember playing on it both my parents worked at higham.s and 2 of my aunties worked in the canteen I would go for dinner when I was at Woodnook school.
