old nightclubs

Yes the skip is a nursing home now, had some great times up there, the boot and the black lion are both shut down now

The vale night club Coedcae Lane in mid 70s early 80s that was okay, and the Beach Tree in Pencoedcae always end up fighting there

PIG And whistle !!!!!!!!

PIG And whistle !!!!!!!!

F@@k me that place takes me back,had a couple in there before Hawkwind played in the Capital Theater 1975/76 me thinks,cant remember where it was mind!

Driving through nelson earlier in the week and past where the old queen of hearts nightclub used to be.got me thinking about all the old clubs in and around caerphilly which have closed. Used to do the club camelot on a friday, queen of hearts saturday and the double diamond on a sunday.also the corbetts in caerphilly and talk of wales in rhymney all closed. only pulsars/checkmate in caerphilly left open i think, anyone remember these clubs.

I worked at the Queen of Hearts Club for my Father, Tiny was the manager in them days, rough place/rough town in them days.

The Double Diamond did well, but I was working in the Prince Wales, only ever worked there on a week day.

I think it was the Sunday night discos that ended the double diamond annis. So much trouble and fighting that I think the local residents and police got the license revoked.

The Cardiff Pig and Whistle was on the corner of Queen street and the turn to Queen street station in the 70's.

Was a fab place for a drink - turned very punk in 1976/7 - saw Hot chocolate in the old capital stage and to my eternal embarrassment went with a group of girls to watch Bay city rollers WTF ?????

Still - good times, good days.

Blooobirds !!!!
