I remember meeting others at the No 1 stall, a lot of the lads used to play snooker at the Elite club? think it was that. Used to sit for hours in the Blue Dahlia much to parents alarm. Copper kettle another haunt.
The walled area in front of the market hall was the deck where everyone met up at the weekend.
Used to frequent the pub that was where the old cinema used to be on Broadway, packed to the doors most nights, then up to the pub on Church Street or I think one at the bottom near the viaduct?

I used to mate out with the guy who ran the Dahlia, Jovani he was called, but everbody called him John, he actually took out British citezenship back in the seventes, haven't seen him for years now. The Pub on Church street was the Bridge is still there and the one near the viaduck was the Blockade it was a, either Sam or John Smiths house

That bingo hall was also owned by Fred Skinner, who also had bingo places in Great Harwood, Clayton, Padiham, and Bury

One day, when I pluck up the courage to empty the bottom of those wardrobes, I may well come up with much more than the Atari. I have a feeling Lord Lucan may have been in there at some time. :D
