If there's one thing the folk of Blackpool know how to do, it's have a good time.
Here we remember the places where we mis-spent our youth, met our friends and in some cases our partners.
Reminiscingabout some of Blackpools nightspots that have long since gone.
The Tache, on Cookson Street, opened in 1983. It was the only club in town devoted to rock music ' head-banging guitar rock, new waves, and post punk.
Blackpool's biggest superclub opened in 2002 and was one of the biggest in the UK. The 4,000 capacity, three-tier venue was opened by the Nordwind family, at a cost of 4m.
The Mecca, on Central Drive was the 'Syndicate of the 70s'. It opened as the Locarno ballroom in April 1965, describing itself as 'an essay in tasteful modernity and elegance' with its plush interior and revolving bandstand.
Stix nightclub, was based on Princess Street, in the former Blackpool Borough Social Club. It closed in 1997 and was replaced by The Odeon. Picture: archive.
