Liverpool club on multi-storey car park where people 'laughed and danced all night long'

A lost Liverpool club once perched on top of multi-storey car park was a place were clubbers "laughed and danced all night long."

The Liverpool ECHO recently took a look back at the former Top Rank Suite - which later became known as Bailey's, Romeo and Juliet's, Studio 54 and Rotters. Back in 1969, when St John's Shopping Centre first opened in the city centre, the site that would become a big destination for clubbers was also opened in the precinct.

Built on top of the multi-storey car park, Top Rank was a chain of nightclubs across the country owned by the Rank Organisation. Often known as Top Rank Suites or Top Rank Ballrooms, the glitzy night spot and conference venue opened in time for Christmas in 1969.
