Club 051 could be brought 'back to life' after years of decline

A former super club that dominated Liverpool's nightlife through the 1990s could be brought back to life by a former resident DJ.

Club 051, at the foot of Brownlow Hill and Mount Pleasant in Liverpool city centre, established itself as one of the biggest clubs and brands by the turn of the millennium. The club, recognisable with its distinctive façade, was closed in 2005 before going through a range of iterations including a cinema, paintball arena and bar.

The building was stripped in 2016 and although its weathered yellow sign remains, it has fallen into disrepair and become a target for anti-social behaviour. The ECHO has reported on two significant fires in the 051 in recent years which tore through the now deserted building.
