You forgot... Pentagon and Annabellas.. I met my missus at Mecca in 1977 and saw numerous bands there in the 1980s. Some of the pubs i remember are Boy and Barrel, Duchess of Kent, Golden Cockerel, Empress, tavern in the town, The metropole, Market tavern, Cellar bar (met my first girlfriend in there), Sun Inn, Royal Standard (some great punk nights there until it burnt down) Belle Vue (strippers on a dinnertime before the city game) Norfolk Gardens, Harp of Erin, New Beehive, Lord Clyde, Black Swan, The Crown, Yates`s, Pack Horse, The Castle, The Office, Spotted House, The Turf, Painted wagon, jacobs well, the star, The Commercial, Gas works,

Interesting but it would be better if the pictures of the venues followed the commentary. ie talk about the venue that is shown on screen. Just a suggestion.

Cavernas closed and the site remained a club that changed hands a few times and had other names including Jumping Jacks. The Love Apple and Mode were in the same building but didn't occupy any of the space that Cavernas had. Closed list. Scruffs and Snobs Dukes and Silks Blue Lace Lingards Palm Cove Cavernas Jumping Jacks Love Apple Walkabout Livingstones Revolution Gas Works Rios Frog and Toad Wheatsheaf Windsor Baths (where many of your photos are from) Flares College bar in Old Building W's Underworld Champagnes Tumblers Pickwicks 42nd Street Flagship Che/Bamboozle Cloud 9 Others whose names escape me right now.

I think it was Caverenes not Cavernas, we used to eat in the Olympus cafe all the time

@@gaz4840 Thanks. I did go in the Olympus a few times. I remember the video for Madonna's Vogue being on the TV last time I went in there. I've corrected the spelling of Scruffs and Snobs and Bamboozle too.

@@leetaylor13 Lee, watch Billy Liar to see what the Mecca was like in the 60s, some great footage of Bradford too in that era.i would go to the Mecca on a saturday morning aged about 13 and we would do "The March of the Mods" around the dancefloor..! I met my future wife in the Mecca in 1977, I used to meet her outside WH Smiths on Cheapside, even to this day i can still remember her walking down from Manor Row swinging her handbag and she was so pretty and vivacious... We would meet in The Duchess of Kent sometimes, this was where all the BCFC Ointment crew would hang out too, sadly its closed now but great days, so many people we knew, so many gorgeous girls and so many fights we used to get into
