Knowlemere Street dance

I went to Christchurch dances a few times - I remember smooches with the lights dimmed.
Joe Morts and Knowlmere St (other than for Sunday aft dancing lessons) were off limits for me too:(

Think the ad used to say "Schofields Pies @ Puddings"?:)
 
Never knew it was called the Arcadium Ballroom. Just knew it as Knowlemere St. I seem to have a memory of an Off-Licence on the diagonal corner, but looking at the street shots on GE I can't make out where it was. Is it just my imagination or does anyone else remember it, also a Telephone Box very close by?

Yep the off licence was corner of Malt Street n Milnshaw lane Barrie facing Whalley Rd. we always called the ballroom the "Arts".:)
 
Thanks Cashy, always thought it was nearer than that. I intend to walk from there to where the Haslingden Bus Stop used to be - a special trip down memory lane when I am over in May.
