BLACKPOOL MECCA

Not my usual material, but worth more than a mention in Blackpool history. A Blackpool landmark for over 40 years, a massive building housing one of the true NORTHERN SOUL venues THE HIGHLAND ROOM. SHAME ON YOU!!! Blackpool council, The Mecca didn't stand a chance
in your RE-generation plans.

Great days; remember coach trips to Blackpool for the day, changing in the train station ready for the night out in the Mecca, then leaving for the all nighter at the Casino.
