Never been skating.I was good on roller skates
i lived in the place in the seventies and i was an ice steward . i went by the silly name of Ftitz (the cat ) then
it would nice to here from any other icey goers
there have been a couple of black DJs at the rink one was paul barber [densil from only fools and horses brother Mike and the other one was tony Tiger
hope this helps,i worked there as an ice sreward
I believe i've only ever been a bar steward
I used to go there every Friday. Freddy Starr and the Midnighters played, it was a great place to meet girls
I used to loving going to Silver blades, was there on a Friday , Saturday , and Sunday fron around 1980ish. It was really the place to go at the time. All the ice rinks now dont seem to have the save atmosphere. aaaaaah those were the days....
my Dad was a figure skater there before I was born (I was born in 1969) I've had only been three times, but I did go to Deeside most Saturday's while in my last year at school, would anyone have any photo's of there times at Silver Blades

Hi Broliv.
The Silver Blades ice rink was on Prescot Rd Kensington ,It closed in 1986 & was finally demolished by 1990,

There is a new ice rink being build in Widnes, should be finished by the end of next year, at the moment there is a small temporary one in Widnes town centre.
