Gosh. My Dad used to take us to Belle Vue in the late 70’s. I remember ‘gold top’ Willie Harrison but our favourite was always Stuart Smith 391! We met him in the pits after a race once and was a member of his fan-club. Such a nice chap. Fantastic memories 😊

I can remember a bench outside a pub that had “ For Cracker Cases Only “ on it ! It was somewhere on Hyde Road …. Possibly opposite Slack & Cox the beer bottling factory …. I think Belle Vue got a lot of their bottled beers and soft drinks from Slack & Cox ….. also when they had to cater for Jewish Weddings in the banqueting suites they had Ben Shaws Kosher beers and soft drinks delivered.

I could well have been in that film somewhere as my mam and dad took us there a lot. I loved Belle Vue both the zoo and the fun fair. My favourite ride was the water splash and I quite liked the Bobs. We lived in Weaste where the street lights were yellow so I was struck by the bright white street lights on that side of town or is my memory playing tricks with me?

I was in Belle Vue at least 4 days a week. I remember the Wax Works and they had hand prints outside on the wall I remember Gracie Fields but no others. The Bavarian Bar. They also had a machine where you could record your voice on a record. I sent mine to my pen friend who lived in Nebraska. Did they have a type of Wild West show with a shoot out?

If anyone remembers the wrestling from belle vue on the telly, my gran was one of the old ladies who used to bash the wrestlers with her umbrella.
