Generations of clubbers feel nostalgic for Stockport's lost nightlife
Popping on the rose-tinted spectacles, we're once again taking a look back at the lost nightlife of Greater Manchester.
Quaffers Opened in a former golf club in 1978, the iconic Stockport variety club welcomed huge names over two decades, from Shirley Bassey and the Drifters to Take That and George Best. With a capacity of 2,600, the Hollingworth Road club boasted a lavish interior, as well as a rising stage, serving hot beef barms from its downstairs kitchen that many punters still remember today.
Many a big act played the club in its time, including David Bowie in 1970. The club became Chesters in 1983 before closing in 1987 and was later demolished.Coco Savanna | Volts | Heaven and Hell Coco Savannah was a popular '90s nightclub at the heart of the new Grand Central leisure complex. One of Stockport's premier clubs in the early Nineties, people have memories of Take That performing at the venue before they made it big.
The venue later became Heaven and Hell. By this time it had acquired somewhat of a dodgy reputation, and in 2005, management brought in hand held metal detectors and even sniffer dogs, to try to deter trouble.
