Readers have been sharing their memories of a lost Greater Manchester floating nightclub where loyal clubbers "went every weekend". Bobbing gently on the still waters of Salford’s Pomona Docks, t he North Westward Ho! started its life as a nightclub in the early 1970s.
The Manchester Evening News recently reported how clubbers would embark on the ship up a gangplank to dance the night away, play pool or enjoy a meal.
After permission was granted, the ship was brought up the ship canal and be rthed at Pomona. It had originally been the Isle of Wight Ferry Vecta, built in 1938, and latterly the excursion ship Westward Ho! before business partners George 'Jud' Evans and Colin Peers transformed it into a nightclub with plush bars, a restaurant and a venue room.
