pommie lass Posted October 21, 2015 Report Share Posted October 21, 2015 Is there anyone around who might remember the The Blue Candle disco in the 60's? I think it may have been in Legh Street but like everything else it's so long ago it's hard to remember exactly where it was located.

Dizzy Posted October 21, 2015 Report Share Posted October 21, 2015 A little before my time I'm afraid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Posted October 21, 2015 Report Share Posted October 21, 2015 Wasn't born until 63 and never heard talk of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davy51 Posted October 21, 2015 Report Share Posted October 21, 2015 Can't even think what clubs /pubs were in Legh St. Would it have been something that took place at the baths every now & then during the months the big pool was shut?

Dizzy Posted October 21, 2015 Report Share Posted October 21, 2015 I'll ask my dad as his band used to play in places like that baths, Carlton etc etc in the early 60's and his elder sister used to go to dances and things in Warrington too so maybe they will both remember it.

Dizzy Posted October 22, 2015 Report Share Posted October 22, 2015 I just google searched and it led me to another topic where someone asked about The Blue Candle on here back in 2010. Not really much info though I'm afraid.As it's a really old topic it is showing backwards for some as the forum was upgraded after that date and moved to another platform so you have to read it backwards ie the first post at the top is actually the last one so you have to scroll down and read from the bottom up. http://forum.warrington-worldwide.co.uk/index.php?/topic/4473-the-blue-candle/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pommie lass Posted October 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2015 Shame nobody remembers it. It wasn't anything to do with the baths at all. Completely separate thing. I will ask my sister as she might remember. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted October 27, 2015 Report Share Posted October 27, 2015 Does this look familiar to you pommie Lass? https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@53.3892579,-2.5973151,3a,75y,281.94h,98.88t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sz0dbH-PVrUJIl33NZCXmAg!2e0!7i13312!8i6656It's Legh Street and the building with the arch that says 'Osale Works' is where the Blue Candle was, or so I've been told anyway. In case you are wondering the ugly white NHS building is what has now replaced the old Legh Street baths. Horrid isn't it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davy51 Posted October 27, 2015 Report Share Posted October 27, 2015 Isn't that "sale rooms" ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davy51 Posted October 27, 2015 Report Share Posted October 27, 2015 There is a mention of the salerooms on the mywarrington web page under Legh Street Baths heading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted October 27, 2015 Report Share Posted October 27, 2015 Isn't that "sale rooms" ? Oooh yes it probably is now I've looked at the google map picture link again But why on earth is there an O before the word Sale with the same letter spacing ?

algy Posted October 29, 2015 Report Share Posted October 29, 2015 Wasn't the arched doorway the entance to the Royal Navy Association Club?. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pommie lass Posted October 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2015 Thanks Dizzy. I think that could be right. The NHS building is disgusting. It still makes me sad and angry that they got rid of the old baths. It held so many memories. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
