00:00This gallery shows just a few of the many nightclubs frequented across Sheffield in

00:06recent decades. All of them have layered histories which, thanks to the internet, have been preserved

00:10for us today, despite the clubs and venues themselves being long gone. Josephine's,

00:16pictured in the early 80s here, is said to have been one of the three main nightclubs and live

00:21music venues alongside Cairo's and Roxy's in the 70s and 80s. One former clubber said that Josephine's

00:32quite be sure whether the bouncers would let you in. Romeo & Juliet's, pictured here, is remembered

00:37to be the only nightclub in the 70s to open on a Sunday night. New Order played at Romeo & Juliet's

00:48after it, including Corporation or Corp which later moved to Milton Street where it remains today.
