Re: The Con club
Looking at that picture depresses me as I am 16 years old so I had never been there when it was open. But being a kid, me and a couple of my friends often go in there as it is a beautiful building and webalways try to picture what used to happen there. But the ballroom looks nothing like this now, it looks like hell. It is destroyed - probably the work of mindless yobs. I am hoping to get a professional camera for christmas and then I can go back there and take a few shots and post them here. None of you will like what you will see though. Its in a dreadful state. I bumped into the owner and he is a lovely guy. He paid me to do a little weeding out the front and plant some flowers in pots. I just wish he would save the place. If anyone has ANY more photos of when the place was open then please email them to me. Ive looked everyewhere for photos, the internet, library, parents, my neighbour who used to work there. But i have had no luck. So please email me some photos, [email protected]

It would be really good if somebody who went here during the 50's/60's/70's/80's/90's/early2000's would take me around this building and tell me the history because I really want t find out what it used to be like. |

Re: The Con club
Recent postings seem to have been scattered over a number of threads. I may be doing Ewoodsambo3 an injustice but if he is 16 or even 22 years of age, he just wouldn't have the experience and/or qualifications to carry out a survey on an outside long drop never mind the remains of the Con Club

I've come late to this thread and remember when we arrived here by train circa 1970 we were impressed by the beautiful architecture as we walked along that side of town. It's an absolute shame that the Council hasn't made sure this beautiful building is protected. The window wasn't missing - if you look at these photos you'll see it was inside the room. Once kids or thieves get into a place there's bound to be more damage, such as the fire or as seen in the pictures Urban Exploration (Urbex) of Accrington Conservative Club |

Whats wrong with me being interested in things other than drugs and violence like a lot of people my age. Why cant I do some research of my own? It keeps me busy, surely you would prefer me to be interested in things like this rather than me just being a yob? Im not trying to get into anybodys bad books but I don't see how me doing a little research and survey about the place will harm anybody? I am sincerely sorry though if I have upset or annoyed anybody. Thanks for your honest thoughts and replys though. Sam. |
