the void and satchmos ,the locker room but then also branigans, millionaires ,Manhattans heaths wine bar used to be a proper good night out up Hanley ,even a Sunday night was buzzing

[@JohnJohnson-tw8qk]

The place and valentinos were the places I went to more

[@johnfellows2867]

Stood next to Edwin Starr at the Burger Bar in the Place, met my dear wife at the Placemate in the blazing hot summer of 1976, married for 43 years now ! Whats gone wrong with this once great area ??

[@dhankey2287]

[@Stecluz]

Did one of potteries centre of shops now gone yesterday when went in food court and was good shops

[@anonet78]

Do you remember Shelleys Longton The good old days.

[@SadiqFerretUpGammonTrowzaaah]

I spent most of 1990-91 in Valentinos. I was a Staffs University student

[@SadiqFerretUpGammonTrowzaaah]

@@Stecluz I remember the food court well. Used to spend a lot of time eating ribs and fries in there. Can't you remember the wonderful unique taste of those BBQ ribs?

[@kevindaniels5916]

The place was the best nightclub in Staffordshire in the day.

[@angusmeigh5141]

I miss Yates's wine lodge that used to be in Hanley and the bar next door to it. I used to go there way back in 1991.

[@SadiqFerretUpGammonTrowzaaah]

I took my Mom and sis to Yates's in May 1991 as part of my 27th birthday celebrations. They were visiting from London and I was a student at Staffs University.

[@DenBlackburn]

The pig and truffle was one next to Yates, great pubs

[@BreezyRider66]

The Place and Chicos for us, early '80's. Punk gigs in The Vine...

[@rasyadaa5646]

Wonderful.. Place, nicely documentations Friendship Greetings,,

[@dsgbmatt]

Millionaires, trinity’s, valleys, the place were my goto places every week. Valleys with the fun fair during the summer…that would never be allowed today 😂😂

[@Wildernessoutside]

that fun fair was deadly especially when a load of loose change started flying about in the pirate ship

[@ohheyitskevinc]

⁠​⁠@@Wildernessoutsidewasn’t just loose change that went flying about from the rides out the back 😂

Continental and every single one of these places was amazing back in the 90s so so sadly missed they all have stories amd memories for everyone who visited 😊👍😻☹️xxxxxxxxx god bless all you clubbers from the 90s xxxxxxx 🌹 and just live your life to the FULL XXXXXX

[@angusmeigh5141]

Stoke on Trent and Newcastle under Lyme nightlife was really good from the early 1980s to the early 1990s. By 1992 it was in decline! Back then you had all sorts of clubs for all sorts of tastes.

[@SadiqFerretUpGammonTrowzaaah]

@@angusmeigh5141 I remember going in Valentinos many a time on student night, October/ November 1990.

[@ohheyitskevinc]

I knew Valleys closed to become a casino but didn’t realise The Place was gone too. I emigrated to the states in 2003 so didn’t realise they’d gone. Honourable mention to The Void on Glass Street too which had Golden. It’s now a car park. Basically all the places I went to in the 90s closed. Still remember the fair out the back of Valleys on some summer nights and seeing Robbie Williams getting chased up Etruria Road one night. Fun times!

[@sebbarquin8006]

My club was the place and the academy. Monday night. At the place was student night. So many great memories. Took the bus there and then walked all the way back to Stoke lol😢 Thanks for the memories ❤

[@DenBlackburn]

The Place and Valentino`s every weekend for quite a few years, but im talking nearly 20 years ago now, shit, time just gets faster the older you become, great nights.

[@ohheyitskevinc]

We definitely had it good back then mate. Think we used to do Valleys on a Monday I think it was. Not sure why. The Place was the weekend one (or the Void). Great memories of those nights!

[@DannyLeese2905]

Spotted myself 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@jacobmassey3897]

I'm so glad I don't live in Stoke anymore.

[@john111257]

i loved baileys, adulte, had my stag at the continental, previously mostyn arms

[@angusmeigh5141]

Do you remember Queens at Basford? That was another great club.

[@john111257]

@@angusmeigh5141 Yes but never went, nothing like these nowadays

[@pauljbutler7756]

The CLUB ~ Saw Toyah there in 04 and some other good Acts Great Place many good Times from 99 to 08

[@angusmeigh5141]

If you went clubbing in the area from 1999 to 2008 then you missed the best years of North Staffordshire nightlife which was from about 1980 until about 1992. Back then there was a large variety of good quality venues for every taste in music and style. You had great rock venues, alternative venues and great mainstream disco bars and clubs.

[@pauljbutler7756]

@@angusmeigh5141 Yes but the CLUB was a Great Place when We went

[@murdock6450]

Was hoping for pictures inside maybe with people in back in those days

[@Arty11]

10 years ago it was still busy but now it’s a literal ghost town,Covid finished the last few off. My question is what do teenagers do nowadays? Where do they go at a wkd? My club was Shelley’s in longton ,strictly hardcore Friday nights❤️

[@john111257]

Hanley is poor place these days, for yrs i spent hours on a saturday, even buying Christmas presents for my daughter early 2000s it was still busy, especially good old woolies..terrible drug and dropout town centre now

[@Stecluz]

They even wait for the workers and beg outside shops

[@fadedape]

I used to be a bouncer at Quencher's (now Pink) and then Chico's in the early 80s - I was only 18. I miss the old Hanley as nowadays it's just a sh*thole. Even the old bus station/precinct was miles better than what there is now. Too many old buildings which had character have been demolished. It's lost its soul unfortunately.

[@Stecluz]

Council caused it removed there licence to open late and most ended up closing

[@petetherealtreatdurose7733]

Top Rank, Heavy Steam Machine. Anyone remember David Bowie at Top Rank?

[@sputumtube]

Heavy Steam Machine was later called Romeo & Juliets I think. Me and my (then) girlfriend used to go regularly.

[@B3NN10N]

1972? September? I would love to know more or see an old ticket stub..

[@unclebunkum]

Golden Earing (Radar Love) at The Heavy Steam Machine in 72...bought the house down...great memories.

[@firecarrier1]

Minstrels, lead bellys, heaths, Yates, the foyer, the place, valleys circa 93-95

[@dallassukerkin6878]

I moved away from Stoke in the 90's so some of these I have never even heard of :O Being a rocker I avoided Valentino's but was in Chico's a few times in it's original venue (is it a false memory of mine that the place had a fire?).

[@italianogenetico]

Brings back memories. Strange not seeing JFK & Base in there.

[@SadiqFerretUpGammonTrowzaaah]

I remember JFK very well. It was on the corner diagonally opposite Touch on the other corner.

[@davidrayner9376]

The One For One, a gay club during 1975 to 1977 at 141, Marsh Street.

[@john111257]

went there a few times with a bisexual work mate, opened my eyes!!!!!!!

JFK was poor by some of the standards of clubs we had in Hanley in 90s and early 2000s by about 2005/6 the Hanley scene had already started to die ,as more people had started to opt for Newcastle on a Friday and Saturday night

[@liveloud9894]

Where’s Regimes

[@Wildernessoutside]

it was by the museum in the late 90s it was called the locker room

[@liveloud9894]
