A former snooker hall where The Beatles performed in their heyday is to be demolished.
The unlisted red brick building in the heart of Oldham, was previously Riley’s Snooker Hall but has been standing empty for several years.
A landmark for anyone entering the town on the tram, the King Street property was used as a training ground for the Rainy City Roller Derby team under the name of the Thunderdome. However the group were not able to renew their lease and vacated the venue in 2020.
