WITH the recent closure of Switch - Blackburn town centre is once again without a major nightclub.

But not so long ago, Blackburn was a mecca for music lovers and clubs such as the Cavendish, which went on to become Peppermint Place, were packed to the brim.

Here are some of the best pictures from our archive.

Switch nightclub closed last month after bosses called time on the venture.

The former Liquid and Envy club re-opened in March after £250,000 was invested in the venue.
