The Wigan Casino is perhaps the most famous Northern Soul venue.

Though it had been a club since the mid-1960s, it was not until 1973 that the venue’s first ‘all-nighter’ dance event was held, and it quickly became legendary. ➡️ https://t.co/775y9GUOVB

1931, Smith's Crisp Factory, York Road, from the Leodis archive

Smiths produced plain crisps with a twist of blue paper containing salt for seasoning.

What's better? ready salted or do it yourself with a little blue bag?

Tonight we opened Overlooked @LeedsCityMuseum @LeedsMuseums, an exhibition curated by @presparty. I’m so proud of the amazing work they’ve put in over the last two years to give voice to stories from Leeds which have been underrepresented. Thank you 🙌🏻
