This was 5 years ago now and the place had been shut a while, but it struck as me a really interesting place... I wonder if anyone ever went there? The Code Club is/was on Water Lane. Never been in it though. Ahh the Code Club. Happy days Filthy little dive it was, shut down before it fell down. Soon to be part of the Tower Works development I think.

I think that club was called Samantha's (or Annabels)!!I queued for 6hrs to see Bowie at the Rolarena but still didn't get in.Happy Days!!

I remember being thrown out of a particular club in the City Centre, “Central Park” I think it was. Having stood in the queue to get served, at the front of the queue was some geezer giving autographs. “Do you want one?” he asked “Want one of what?” I replied. At this point some cabbage brained door staff collared me and hooked me out of the door. It turned out that this demi-god was Lee Chapman. I have since had the pleasure of throwing him and his abused, badly operated upon wife, out of my own night-club. Cheers Lee, oh, by the way, who are you again?

Spot on Magic,yeah Nato's i remember the playstations but like you said you could hardly see the screen,and on a few occasions one or more had been vandalised,Yeah LS1 its been a few places before Nato's not too sure about afterwards however,thought it had been empty since Nato's closed.
