anyone remember the nightclub on chesterfield rd i cant remember the name

Was it Route 66 on Heeley Bottom just before the bridge?

tanks for answer but thats not the one it was higher up on way to woodsetts

a nightclub in Heeley? :cool: When was this? what year I mean? I can't think where there would have been room for one between Heeley Bottom and Woodseats Bottom?

Although, I vaguely remember when I was a kid there was the Sunrise [?) Club in the old station building where the car spares is now ... but that wasn't exactly a night club, i don't think....

In the row of houses just past the quarry were Homebase is, One of these was a blues club and I can remember seeing several BMW's parked up there and being slightly worried especially if the door happened to open as I came past in the early hours

yes that sounds about right thanks for all answers

There was also a "blues" club on the other side of the road just up from where Readmans and Matalan are now. It was called Chatoos and was a prefab up at the top of a garden of a very normal looking semi-detached. It was like the Tardis inside, with a bar selling cans of Red Stripe, and a dance floor! The atmosphere was quite intimidating for non regulars, but very exciting cause we were doing something naughty! even taxi drivers knew where to drop you if you were cagey about where you were going, cause in those days there was no reason for anyone to want to go there apart from to the blues club.

Chatoos, now that brings back some memories, out of the Red Lion at closing time, and off up Chesterfield Road, sometimes stop off at the everest for a curry, then on to Chatoos, them were the days...

At the junction of Broadfield Road and Chesterfield Road was the Highway 61. I think it was above what is now the Italian restaurant and bed shop.
We're talking about 1968/9

There was a club in Heeley Bottom at the corner of Broadfield Road and Chesterfield Road. It was called HIGHWAY 61 Re-visited after the famous Bob Dylan song Highway 61.

There were a number of people originally connected to the ARK Club in Crookesmoor involved in it's creation.

Before being revamped it was called the Silhouette Club.

The HIGHWAY was basically a SOUL club and like most clubs of it's time was a very popular venue for 15-18 year olds but unfortunatley again like most clubs its had a short 2 year life.(69-71)

Some very good local bands played there:- Travellers Express, Lubi Soul and Love and Confusion.

As already mentioned, chesterfield road does not start there it is London road.

Oh The Highway 61, what great times we had there. We used to travel all the way from Stannington on Sunday nights just for the fantastic music they used to play there. We used to go to the Ark on Friday and Saturday nights and dance all night (well till 10 o'clock anyway) we had to be in by 10.30. No booze needed in those days to enjoy ourselves just great friends and sweet soul music.
