Thanks for that information, my parents didn’t move to Walkden till 1981 so wasn’t aware of its history as a bowling alley.

I actually got chastised by the staff for taking photos of the interiors of this place, just as well that I did though given that it has since closed down.

i remember having difficulty seeing Batman here when I was 11 (it was a 12 cert but they eventually relented and let me in) so maybe their age policy had gotten a little less relaxed by the late 1980s. didn’t the bar area have saloon style doors? have a vague memory of that.
