It's been eight years since a Manchester pub that helped launch the careers of top comedians and bands closed its doors forever.
The Ducie Bridge pub had been a fixture on Corporation Street since 1923. But from the late '90s and early Noughties, the pub's Juicy Ducie Comedy Club became renowned for giving some of Britain's biggest comedians a chance to perfect their craft.
Bolton's Peter Kay and fellow stars from his hit TV comedy Phoenix Nights all performed there. Timperley's big-headed Frank Sidebottom and Johnny Vegas were also among those who appeared at the city-centre pub, as well as other big names like John Bishop and Jo Brand.
