'It was heaving all the time'
A lost floating nightclub that boasted multiple bars and a restaurant was "the" place to go in Greater Manchester decades ago.
"I remember it being huge, it seemed like a huge boat. An awful lot of work had to be done, I remember a lot of drilling and nailing and painting and they were very busy. "It was absolutely brilliant, a great place to work. I started working as a cleaner but then I used to go the odd night and help out in the cloakroom.
He told the Manchester Evening News: "It was the place to go on a Friday and Saturday night. The place was, as I remember it, peculiarly small for a ship, with low ceilings, certain areas with small bars, but it was more intimate. "Towards the end of a critical winner takes all black ball game, around 10.30pm, people used to get in the boat and it would tilt the cue ball. The black ball and the last colour ball would all roll to the side of the table and obviously screw the game."
"Bruises were sometimes also the result of sliding down the banisters, in moments of wild abandon, and for the taller clientele, the result of heads coming into contact with low beams. The gangplank was likewise not easy to navigate after one too many Babychams." "We just went on the one deck with a dancefloor and a bar. I just thought it was so different, I'd never been on anything like it before.
