I remember it well. The reason it had no licence was because the Luciana was a temperance organisation and the snooker halls were set up to provide the industrial working classes with a pastime that didn't involve alcohol. A favourite haunt of mine during the '60s. It was quite popular in it's day, it was packed out most lunchtimes and weekends. Excellent place, cheap prices and you could get cheap cups of tea and cheese or meat rolls. Table 19 was the best table but young 'uns like us were not encouraged to use it in case of damage. Spent hours in there. Do you recall that saying: Being good at snooker is a sign of a misspent youth?
Was a good place to play truant for while as it had a rear entrance you could scoot out of if the teachers came looking but they eventually twigged that and posted a guard on the rear door while the other teachers went in the front. Oh what fun we had. Happy days indeed! Never was any aggro at all in those days. [Post edited 11 May 2018 12:58]
