Exploring the old Billy Paul's Club, Cleveland Centre. Memories of old Pubs in Middlesbrough.

In this long awaited video, I'm joined by Craig Weatherall to take a look at the old Billy Paul's Club which was located in the Basement of the Cleveland Centre on Corporation Road.

Opened in 1975 by TAZ leisure, the club had a kind of 'up market' feel for many years, and supported it's bigger brother 'The Madison Night Club' (video to follow) by sending (often half cut) punters its way!

Sat vacant since the club's closure in May 2000, a few remanants pay tribute to it's past. Join me as I take a look at what's inside (and try not to get wet feet)!

THANKS:

My sincere thanks go to Craig Weatherall for allowing me some 'behind the scenes access' and taking the time to show me around and answer all of my questions (there were many believe me, and a lot ended up lost in the edit for your sake more than mine)!

I'd also like to thank the followers of the Memories of Middesbrough Facebook page who took the time to comment on my post about Billy Paul's. There's far too many of you to thank individually so if you contributed in some way I thank you. To those few that I've directly quoted or have sent me pictures, you of course have been mentioned in the credits.

Due to the various sources used to obtain the information for this video, I must state that the content within it is for 'entertainment purposes only'. If you require more information about the club, or any other location or premises mentioned in this video, I sugggest you contact Teesside Archives to ensure that the inforation you receive can be verified.

Thanks for watching and see you in the next video,

Middlesbrough Mike.
