A "troubled" building that became famous in Liverpool in the 90s could be restored to its former glory.
Previously home to nightclubs Scamps and Bunters, as well as the Ritz cinema, few clubs still evoke as much feeling, or as many good memories, as the 051. In the 1990s, the venue on the corner of Mount Pleasant and Brownlow Hill was known as one of the city’s most famous nightspots with the bold lettering of '0 five one' above the huge site being spotted elsewhere across the city.
For years clubbers would tackle the club's rite-of-passage stairway descent to the basement expanse to dance to some incredible music, the ECHO previously reported. Opened to rival Manchester's nightlife where clubs like the Hacienda were booming, 051 went on to become part of the fabric of the city's nightlife and attract international stars like David Morales and Roger Sanchez.
