Lost Manchester club was 'like walking into a horror movie'

A now abandoned North Manchester building was once home to a bizarre club adorned with upturned crucifixes and decapitated heads.

Manchester's Hellfire Club opened in 2007, near Queens Park, in a curiously curved building that used to house the Junction Hotel and later the Junction Inn. It's earlier names were apt, considering the building stands on the Collyhurst, Harpurhey, Smedley and Cheetham border.

Close to Manchester Cemetery, the building, which dates back to at least 1870, is said to been a hotspot for paranormal activity. A fitting venue then for the Hellfire Club, which resembled the set of a horror movie.
