Quote from wikipaedia

"For a brief period in the mid 1970s, The Electric Circus, a run down former bingo hall on Rochdale Road, found itself at the centre of Manchester's punk rock scene. It played host to bands such as the Sex Pistols, The Jam, Joy Division—then known as Warsaw—and the Buzzcocks, before its closure in 1977. It has now been demolished."

It also said enclosed within iron railings !  :-\ ( I assumed that was a wood fence in the picture ... but could it be iron ?? )

Wonder if there are any newspaper clippings of the Earl of Derby unveiling it ??

A 4-month programme of conservation and repair (including replacing damaged stone
and re-cutting commemorations) was completed for the WWI memorial on Rochdale
Road in Collyhurst in June. Blackley War Memorial (Grade II listed) in Bogart Hole
Clough was cleaned and restored in time for Remembrance Sunday.
Both of these projects were extensive and complex. Collyhurst had suffered severe
stone decay and many of the names were missing or illegible. The specialist
stonemasons were able to recut and re-black names, re-inscribe missing names, and
add a new inscription to commemorate post-WWII war deaths. The Blackley war
memorial (also know as the ‘Angel’) had extensive damage to the stonework that was
repaired with new stone indents, and the Angel herself was removed for conservation at
National Museums Liverpool.
Conservation expertise for both projects was supplied by Conservation Technologies,
National Museums Liverpool at a total cost of £75,000
