Last chance to see inside the former Gaumont Cinema on the legedary Union Street in Plymouth. The building later became a nightclub and was known among other things as Millenium Club, Wharehouse and Blondz before closing in August 2004. Back 20 years ago and Union Street was the humming party street of the southwest but the pubs and clubs are pretty much all closed now. Whatever went wrong. Part of the answer lies in a conversation I had with a geezer who was recreating a photo of himself from a 90's newspaper which showed him being routinely searched for drugs on the way in. He said it was rated as one of, if not the best rave club in the UK at the time. I saw a band at the venue sometime before that but never went again. The building had been opened up as part of an arts' festival called the Atlantic Project, before it is converted into some sort of church.
