They were popular places to party during the 1980s, 90s or noughties, but the doors have shut and the speakers have fallen silent at all these Sheffield nightclubs.
This retro photo gallery captures them in their heyday, showing revellers on the dancefloor, and the entrances you might recall shivering outside while waiting to be admitted.
The DJs and the nightclub managers and owners, who kept the good times rolling, also make an appearance.
The lost nightclubs pictured include Gatecrasher, which was one of the UK’s biggest and most influential superclubs during the 90s and early noughties.
Also pictured are Niche, Cairo Jax, Romeo’s & Juliet’s, The Limit, Silks, Sinatra’s, Josephines and many more much-missed venues etched into Sheffield’s proud musical heritage.
The music they played may have varied, but between them they gave clubbers countless unforgettable nights out.
Relationships were forged, and sweat, tears and no shortage of drinks were spilt at these once hugely popular nightspots as clubbers left it all on the dancefloor.
