Bolton has been home to a number of iconic nightclubs that have defined eras in Greater Manchester
Recently, the Manchester Evening News has been looking back at the lost clubbing scenes throughout Greater Manchester.
Of course, this isn't a comprehensive list, so if there are any places you'd like to nominate - or memories you'd like to share - let us know in the comments below. The mid-1980s brought with it another name change - this time to City Lites. But as rave exploded in the '90s, the club changed its name for the final time, becoming the Pleasuredome.In 1991, the club hosted raving royalty The Prodigy, as a youthful version of the band performed debut single Charly. The television cameras also came to the club in January 1992 with Pete Waterman presenting a rave special of The Hitman and Her.
Generations of Boltonians spent some of the best years of their lives here, first in the dance hall of The Palais then under the disco lights of Cinderellas Rockerfellas, the Ritzy and finally Ikon. The building was demolished in 2017, however, its famous silver sign was rescued by a once regular visitor of the club, who placed it on the front of his own house.
The former super club once had space for 1,000 people and was a key fixture in Bolton's nightlife scene, but it has been empty for a number of years. The building went up for sale in 2022, and its recently been reported that it will be turned into warehouse space.
