Fantastic photographs capturing the last ever night at Wigan Casino have gone on display in the town centre. This accessible exhibition features images taken by Liverpool-based photographer Francesco Mellina, who was commissioned by NME to document the last all-nighter at the famous venue in September 1981, eight years after the club first opened its doors. It is one of several events celebrating the 50th anniversary of Wigan Casino.
Last Night @ The Casino - The photographs of Francesco Mellina on display on display at the top of Standishgate and Market Place, Wigan town centre until October 21.
