Though never a regular user of the Tower Ballroom, I was never a great fan of Dance halls such as The Tower, The West End, The Locarno, and others of that era I did use them occasionally.
My only lasting memory of the Tower is leaving there one night with a mate blind drunk and making our way to the Manzil curry house in Digbeth on foot. We fell down every set of stairs in every underpass between the Tower and the Manzil. What amazes me is we never got arrested or assaulted.
