I’ve lived in London for over 30 years but Stoke will always be home and The Place was a cornerstone of my formative years. For me it was almost magical. I went to The Place VERY regularly from 1978 through until the mid 80s and I never failed to get a rush of excitement and anticipation as I entered and the music took hold. In an austere City during austere times a night at The Place was the perfect escape - a glamorous, carefree, sexually charged world. I only hope that more pictures and even video?? will emerge. In these days of selfie-obsession where digital images capture every notable and not so notable event, it's a great shame that such a pioneering, and important cultural landmark should have left behind so little trace of it's remarkable impact on so many lives. It would be brilliant to read the archives from the 70s which had many articles on the Place.
