My Mum and Dad having a night out at the Empress Ballroom I think....They are the couple on the far left....Dad has the moustache and Mum is in her white ball gown.....the year would be in the early 50s as I think Mum was in the early stages of having my sister.....one of the other couples is Bob and Josie Deighton they had a flat in the old Victorian house at Thorn Hill....."Mere Oaks" the same time as my parents and were always good friends.

Probably be one of the late night, special occasion, Friday night dances. I cannot remember as to whether, or not, they had dinner dances at the Emp. I know they had them at Ince Public Hall. When I say late night, I mean they frequently finished at midnight.

Albert it could be Ince hall....I just thought it may be the Empire.....but I am not sure...... :)
