  3. The Crown Theatre, Eccles : 1899 – 2019

    Once, The Crown was called one of the "prettiest in the north."

    In the early years the stage hosted Shakespearean dramas and revues. In the 1930s, it was converted into a cinema. By the 1960s it found a new life as a bingo hall.

    Closing in the 1980s, it fell into ruins.

    Eventually, in 2019, a large fire destroyed it leaving only the facade standing.

    Not the greatest of quality photos, but they do feature the old Crown Theatre - it's so sad to see what's happened to it.

  10. #parkrun tourism at Worsley Woods, #Eccles, in the west of Greater #Manchester The first mile out and last mile back was flat and straight on a cycle path. The middle mile was up and down on a trail through the woods. Some short steep bits and a couple of flights of steps! All in shade which was a relief. Over 500 runners on a narrow start path. The volunteers use a PA system so everyone can hear the briefing 📢
