Orchid Ballroom

I remember the Orchid Balloom in Purley, I had so many super nights there, dancing and meeting up with friends. My sisters and I went there almost every Saturday, jiving the night away. I even met my husband there, and we are still together, I came from Kenley in Surrey, not too far away from the Orchid. There are no such ballrooms to go to now, sadly. Oh, those were the very happy days...

RE: RE: Orchid Ballroom

You are SO right! Those WERE the days. How much better they were; how we had such good times even though money was in short supply. No need for drugs and booze - just dance as though there's no tomorrow. Great ballroom, long gone.
