Cliff Ton 10,008 Posted February 10, 2016 Report Share Posted February 10, 2016 As deep as this. The bottom of the Clock Tower is in the centre, and Milton Street / Trinity Square on the right. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,106 Posted February 10, 2016 Report Share Posted February 10, 2016 Nice pic, but absolute sacrilege and unadulterated vandalism in the extreme. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
.... 23 Posted February 10, 2016 Report Share Posted February 10, 2016 That is quite an amazing shot with the clock tower perched there. I suppose that arch work must still be buried under there! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
crankypig 457 Posted February 10, 2016 Report Share Posted February 10, 2016 I may be wrong but was zhivagos sometimes used in the daytime for a kids disco called the annabell bear club?or was that somewhere else. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted February 10, 2016 Report Share Posted February 10, 2016 It was Cranky,panto stars sometimes visited. When I look at Cliffs photograph..I remember playing on the turntable and bombing down that ramp in my trolley, plastered with 'savings bug' stickers from Northern Rock..managed to lift a Nottm Vic sign..still has pride of place above the HiFi. Very sad,looking at that pic.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
susyshoes 69 Posted March 5, 2016 Report Share Posted March 5, 2016 So it was to the left of the clock tower? I really thought it was further down Milton street. Not sure where I got that from . Never even noticed that ramp next to Irish pub. I'd still like to know what's down there now! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mercurydancer 1,104 Posted April 7, 2016 Report Share Posted April 7, 2016 I recall very well Tiffanys. Bilborough College had some nights in that place*. It was indeed down some steps off to the right of the entrance. It was surprisingly cavernous. *If anyone remembers the "In the Navy" pop mime it was absolutely nothing to do with me. I deny it completely. It was not me in the kilt. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sallyshoes 18 Posted April 8, 2016 Report Share Posted April 8, 2016 I went to most of the Nottingham clubs - but I always preferred Huchnall Welfare! Susyshoes - didn't you find that the Welly had such a great buzz? If you were there when Heatwave played then maybe you remember Katie Kookaburra (she used this surname as a joke - though some of the guys didn't get it). I didn't realise at the time how significant this person would turn out to be - maybe a future post for that. Katie was there with two friends - all three were D.D.G. and were getting male attention all night. I think most of the Hucknall girls were a bit teed-off. If I remember correctly a guy (Tony Spinks I think) came over to me raving about 'three girls not from Hucknall'. A daft little memory - but it always makes me smile. 1 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

HSR 276 Posted February 19 Report Share Posted February 19 10p a pint on Monday's rock night, but you had to buy twelve in a tray, went up to 50p very soon after, slightly less watered. Only two bands I can recall are Hanoi Rocks and the dreadful Spider..think these my have been Tuesday. Think I have partial recordings of their sets to this day. Looking back I should have kept everything but TDK 90s were 79p at Selectascratch..and the cheapest What was at street level prior to Vision Express, the entrance to the club was by a door to the right, i'm guessing a shop?

Â In fact if you look at the 3rd photo down in this link - from the mid -70s - there doesn't seem to be anything in that location. Looks like the nightclub was added later.

Jill Sparrow 9,672 Posted February 19 Report Share Posted February 19 Oh yes, I remember Tiffany's as a rather cavernous underground establishment. Lots of stairs. I think my sister used to go there prior to its incarnation as Tiffany's in the late 60s. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
