mick2me 3,033 Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 Well it would have been near Woolworths before they (we) built the Broad Marsh in between them. What was that club just up Stanford Street on the other side of the back of Woolies? The 8 till Late, in the 70's? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Craig Strongman 13 Posted January 15, 2007 Report Share Posted January 15, 2007 Well it would have been near Woolworths before they (we) built the Broad Marsh in between them.What was that club just up Stanford Street on the other side of the back of Woolies? The 8 till Late, in the 70's? The club was originally The Dungeon, ran by Mick Parker, changing into, amongst others, The Big Apple, and Eight till late. I have done a posting elsewhere, to see who frequented The Dungeon in the 60's. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
