Does anyone remember the old Charing Cross Club it used to be the Astor Picture House? Just wondering if anyone remembers it as my nan worked there as a head barmaid.
And there was a guy who song there called Dave King but he is now in prison, many of you may remember the news story about him.
I can vaguely remember going there a few times during the 60s The door into it was at the side not the front where the entrance to the cinema used to be We still called it the Astor or Claughton
I lived just by there in my youth 1960 to 1970 then moved on the ford 8th ave. went there every week end from 1975 until it shut down crazy times.went in side door at one time then you used main entrance. 2 or 3 bus stops next to side door cigie machine and choc machine screwed to wall. sure the whole floor had to be replaced on main entrance.
I lived at 263 Claughton rd i went in that club in the 50 s It first opened up on a Sunday after noon as a dance club All the teddy boys used to go I remember some of them Donny Charlton George Roberts George Fletcher and a bloke called the Moose he was from the Priory flats The enterance was in Atherton st near the 11 & 10 bus stop
