13. Lord Byrons
Situated right by Preston Bus station on Tithebarn Street, Lord Byrons was the Doc Marten-wearing, shoegazing, indie-kid favourite and known for its cheap, strong, drinks and sticky dancefloor, holding indie nights on Fridays and rave nights on Saturday nights. It was also known as Pipers, Barristers, and Storm (pictured here) Photo: KEVIN McGUINNESS
14. The Warehouse
Located on St John’s Place, Preston, this alternative nightclub was originally named The Warehouse when it first opened in 1972, then renamed Raiders, then back to The Warehouse in 1988. Popularity of the club led to expansion; with the middle floor opening in 1990 and a third floor in 1993 Photo: Iain Lynn
15. The Gatsby
Many names have hung above the door of this establishment over the years including Worsley's Dance Hall, The Club Royale, Molloy's Dance Club, The Millionaires Club, Club Solid and more recently Blitz. But the Gatsby is probably the name it is most remembered by. The club was actually built in 1920 as a casino. It is no longer standing, having been demolished to become part of a UCLAN development Photo: Archive
16. The Mill
This former cotton mill in Aqueduct Street has undergone a number of changes as a venue and has recent incarnations, featuring a Shisha bar and the Escape Room Preston, where players take part in prison-break type experience. The Mill opened as a nightclub/music club focusing on alternative music in 1998. Some famous names appeared there during its time - including Pete Doherty and Shaun Ryder Photo: Ian Robinson
