Epic, I've got some bits of 100 yr old floorboard in my garage, you want to make a bid for them? I'll quite happily pour beer and talc on them and lets not forget to stamp Highland Room on them if you want. Ron Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

scunnyjack Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 Was there saturday, but forgot the bloody camera ! Torch, Mecca, Casino, Clifton Hall, bulldozers love 'em all Rob Add Cleethorpe's Winter Gardens to that list- knocked down, and as far as I am aware no current plans to build on there. Had many a good Soul Night at Scunny Bath's with Rick Scott. Due to be rebuilt by the local council but bickering and the credit crunch have appeared to put future plans on ice for awhile.

francis t Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 Was there saturday, but forgot the bloody camera ! Torch, Mecca, Casino, Clifton Hall, bulldozers love 'em all Rob I have a brick from the Torch and one from Trentham Gardens (the Brick that heard the Dells sing!!!).I could do with some of that Mecca cement dust to stick them together! cheers francis ps could not get a piece of the dancefloor from the Highland Room.I would have bought one- but thought it was a scam or something.Would have looked great next to my brick collection in my record room.I know I am mad, but don,t tell anyone.I was right fed up when they finally demolished the Mecca.I mentioned the fact to a few of my soul customers, they thought I was mad aswell and could not see the importance of the event.Just muttered about Ian Levine and Wigan... francis Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
