197/366: Golden Garter, Wythenshawe
Taken this afternoon (Sunday 15th July) for the Project 366/2012 YIP group.
Well, Gala Bingo!
This was the original site of where the famous Golden Garter was from around the late 1960s. It played host to famous singers and comedians including Lulu, Jim Bowen, The Dooleys, Cannon and Ball and the late Gene Pitney amongst others.
The politically incorrect comedian Bernard Manning....god bless his soul.....hosted an evening here back in 1976.
Sadly, the Golden Garter was destroyed by a fire in July 1990, by which time popularity of Wythenshawe's famous nightclub had already waned.
Gala Bingo (as already mentioned) was built on the former site of the nightclub in the early 1990s and is still going strong today
