A throw-back to the days when almost every community had a youth club.
It was a place for ping pong, record players, coffee and companionship.
Some of the bigger clubs had football teams.
The Blue Zephrys Youth Club, which was named after a successful Glossop skiffle group of the late-1950s or early 1960s, was based at what is now called the Grape Vine on Charlestown Road.
It was one of the very few youth clubs that had a full-sized snooker table.
It was run by Liverpudlian Dennis Rose, who had a barber’s shop at the nearby junction with York Terrace.
