Guest Posted September 10, 2003 Posted September 10, 2003 Found this website yesterday, wigancasiononline. While looking at through the gallerysection, see the link below https://www.wigancasinoonline.com/gallery.html It states that the photos are from Russ Winstanleys collection. Take a look at the bottom left picture (the one with all the chairs), it says from the link casino-empty.jpg. This is NOT the casino, If I'm not mistaken it looks very much like the Beachcomer holiday camp in Cleethorpes after an allnighter at the soul weekender organised by Mr Croasdell.
Guest Posted September 10, 2003 Posted September 10, 2003 It is and there's pics of the Twisted Wheel as well - hmmm, strange! TheBigO
Guest Posted September 10, 2003 Posted September 10, 2003 No...it seems as though it's being passed of as its Wigan.
Guest Posted September 11, 2003 Posted September 11, 2003 On looking a this website, the photograph is also in the book The in Crowd: The Story of the Northern and Rare Soul Scene by Mike Ritson, Stuart Russell. Definetly the Beachcomer (been there for the past 7 years). Wigan was a lot bigger.
Guest Posted September 14, 2003 Posted September 14, 2003 Yep it is Cleethorpes...been to all the weekends...You cant mistake it for Wigan.Whatever next?!!!!
