Former Liverpool nightclub loved by 80s stars was 'one of the coolest in town'

A former Liverpool nightclub loved by 80s stars was once one of the "coolest" venues in town.

Cagneys club opened up on Fraser Street, just off London Road, in Liverpool City Centre back in 1979. The premises had originally opened in the early sixties as the Compton Club and had a succession of names, such as the Peppermint Lounge, Dinos and Gulliver.

But many will remember Cagneys for being a prime nightspot in the 1980s and a place to be seen for New Romantics. In its heyday, clubbers would travel from across Merseyside and elsewhere in the North to attend its Roxy/Bowie night and to be amongst people who had a similar taste in music and fashion.
