Do you remember these iconic Chesterfield nightclubs from years gone by?

It would probably come as a shock to the nocturnal youth of today that night’s out of the 1980s would start as early as 7pm. Licensing laws were stringent. Pubs shut at 11pm – about the time many of today’s generation first set foot out of the door.
