Latchford Locks Posted August 7, 2021 Report Share Posted August 7, 2021 I suppose you have to be of a certain age to remember this ,but I thought the Bell Hall was part of The school that was St Benedicts and on the same site........... Live: Bell Hall, Warrington Friday 20 July 1962 This was The Beatles’ only live performance in Warrington, then in Lancashire, They were supported by The Vigilantes and The Renegades. The entrance charge was 2/6d. Bell Hall was supposedly a church hall situated on Orford Lane, accessed down a small alley. which was later demolished. ... 2/6 by the way was equivalent to £2.85 in todays money.!!! I wonder if any tickets have survived. or if any of our senior posters went to this ? I was a bit to young at the time, 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davy51 Posted August 7, 2021 Report Share Posted August 7, 2021 I remember the school & Bell Hall from living in Orford Lane though i haven't been in either. You used to see quite a lot of folk heading to the Bell Hall on opening nights. St Benedict's church was further along Orford Lane ,just behind the Queens picture house. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seem to remember when we had all the Polish workers coming here it was adopted by them as their local church Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davy51 Posted August 7, 2021 Report Share Posted August 7, 2021 Possibly so Latch. If you are familiar with Orford Lane ,i seem to remember the entrance to the school being about 50 yards towards town from Shaw's butchers. It was only a small opening to the school considering it's importance to Catholic families. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Observer II Posted August 8, 2021 Report Share Posted August 8, 2021 I think so, can't remember much ! They also appeared at the Baths. Those were the days when you could meet and talk to girls, now it's all dating sites - sad. 😉 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Days you remember all your life was what we were lucky enough to have. A keyboard is a thing you forget in a day. I will remember The Stamford Arms Friday night dances upstairs till the day I die; seems like yesterday not 53 years ago !😲!
