 Does anyone remember Powells pool hall, I use to go there during my breaks from the Tech, play pool and the jukebox one song that stays in my memory and to this day is my favourite song and thats " Don't stop me now" by Queen, even now when I'm a little eliberated I try to sing it myself, was even brave enough to sing it at karaoke and didn't get booed off, ;D ;D that could be because they didn't want to hurt my feelings, but even now when I go to the pub they always put it on the jukebox, but it always reminds me of my teenage years and Powells. Cheers Mary C

hi Mary c
remember it well the pool room and the shop next door used to be a place were myself and the lads i used to hang around with
Sean Powell used to run it noel used to run the shop when his mother retired. we used to meet there every evening that time their was no youth club . Lads you will probably remember poppy dignam Mick harper,padder Carroll his brothers Dicky and john
Mick Burke (r.i.p.) and many more . In the winter time the pool hall
was a place you could get some heat and pass the time.
