The last days of Sunderland's Locarno - a video memory of the day former nightclub and bowling alley was bulldozed
Cue the glitter ball, disco lights and packed dance floor. We have memories of the Locarno on film.
It is 20 years ago this year that the Newcastle Road nightclub closed forever.
It was demolished in 2012 and here are pictures of its final days which were taken by Sunderland Echo photographers.
The shell of the former favourite was captured one last time in this series of images before it was razed to the ground.
Rocking to The Who and Led Zeppelin
Many of you will remember it in its heyday. Top bands such as Free, The Who, Led Zeppelin and the Faces all performed there.
The club opened as a Locarno ballroom, which were the flagships of the Mecca Empire, with a bowling alley underneath which opened on June 30, 1964.
The club had changes of names such as the Mayfair and the Palace before closing down in April 2003.
