Can any one remember the name of the nightclub that was adjacent to the Norbreck Castle Hotel in Blackpool in the 1970's. Our neighbours emigrated to Australia in the 1980's, and have asked me if I can find out for them. Any help would be welcome. I have tried the company who own the hotel now, but they couldn't help me.

Hi HMH - I did ask the question at the recent North West meet up and I too have spoken to the hotel but no joy. Some people do actually think it was called the Castle. Looked on some pf the Blackpool history sites but no info there either.sad

Thanks seasider. It's one of those, that when I hear it I will know it. It wasn't the Castle, I am sure it was two words.

Didn`t the hotel used to be called Norbreck Hydro?

Yes numberplease it was previously called the Norbreck Hydro, but the nightclub had a different name.

My BiL thinks it was called Disco. He's searched around but had no luck finding anything so far. He says there was a DJ called Chris C......? He does have a good memory, so might come up with more yet.

Thanks whenim64, I will keep a lookout and hope that your BiL comes up with the answer. I have a feeling that it has someting to do with ships or sailors, but I could be wrong.

Hi
The answer could be "Trader Jacks"

Hi Jessy Trader Jack's was at the Imperial hotel. In fact the DJ from Traders Eddie Gee has just opened a new soul club in Blackpool smile
