I’m sorry but regrettably this is not Urmston Abbotsfield Park, At that concert they performed in a marquee at The Urmston Show that had previously held the dog show! It was only a 20 minute show that Brian Epstein tried to cancel but was held to contract by Urmston Council. This photo is often to be found mis-labelled on the internet. There is only one genuine photo from Urmston and that’s a rather poor quality photo of the boys climbing out of the back of an Urmston Urban District Parks and Gardens van.

Thanks for the info. I’ll get it changed, but first I need to know where this one was taken. Do you have the date?
These photos are from 14th August 1963 at Granada studios car park shortly before they performed the video for twist and shout indoors at studio 4!
