superchantty Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 Two of my friends were having a discussion as to which was the first night club to open in Sheffield. One said it was the "Heartbeat" the other said it was the "Penny Farthing". They then come up with the idea that it could have been "The Club Sixty" on Shalesmoor. But I'm not sure that was classed has a night club.Does anyone Know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which nightclub was 1st.The Cavendish,The Penny Farthing or The Heartbeat. I know The Cavendish opened in May 67, but I seem to remember The Heartbeat being open before that.And if memory serves me,so was The Farthing! Read this thread.

alex3659 Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 (edited) ...and also McVicars and BED during its time ! It was called Vickers and owned by Les Vickers who then sold it to Kevin Johnson and Frankie Jones who changed it to the Locarno.
