Joyous black and white picture memories of the great Wigan Casino

On September 23 1973, a new Northern Soul All-Nighter was launched at a venue that became known as Wigan Casino. The rest is musical history.

We make no apology for revisting memories of this much-loved and missed institution with this gallery from the Wigan Observer archives.
