Gatecrasher destroyed in fire

Gatecrasher burns downWell they do say that living in the city centre is never dull, but I didn’t expect to see Gatecrasher burn down. It’s just a bit further down the street from where I live and I am in the last block of buildings not to be evacuated. It’s all very dramatic and when I left home to go to a pub to use wi-fi it was still being put out.

Although I was never a fan of Gatecrasher, it is sad to see the demise of one of Sheffield’s most famous clubs, which at one time was very much among the top clubs for dance music in the country. It also isn’t often that you witness big fires and there is something very compelling about watching it.
