You and Craig helping the lass touched my heart! Such gentleman ❤️. Alec, you scared the shite out of me almost falling through that floor as it looked like quite a drop, but, I’m sooo glad you’re ok. That Andrew is some piece of work, LMFAO 😂! The photos at the end were top notch 👍! Thank you for the explore! 😊

great vid and find alec, that nightclub reminds me of a sad but true story here in ireland where i am, a nightclub called "the stardust" in artane, dublin which sadly burnt down in 1981 on valentines night. 200 people where killed that night because the firedoors where chained shut because the staff at the time found out people where getting in through them and where told by the manager of the night club to chain them shut when the fire broke out some couldnt get out luckly I wasnt in it that night but is a true story, that club looks so similar to "The Startdust" that was in dublin. Great find alec keep it up👍

Used to go there when I was a lad, got a few lumbers in there. The carpets were always sticky and it was never a ‘premium’ night club. Obviously as you can see it used to be a cinema - the BB cinema, then became a bingo hall in the 70’s and became Babylon night club in the late 90’s. It’s been demolished now and is just a patch of grass.

Had a few mad nights in there in the 90s lol. The upper floors were condemned back then although somehow the DJ booth was up there. They used to also have a couple of bouncers up there and one on the stage they could pretty much see everything. For a club, this place had brilliant lighting, although I remember one night there was a power cut and the whole place just went into blackness. Took a while to get everyone out. Think it closed around 2001/2002.
