The Cornerhouse: Can you spot yourself among these revellers from over the years?

The Cornerhouse had a legion of fans with all kinds of musical preferences.


From indie to rock and pop - all tastes were catered for in a range of different nights run at the Middlesbrough venue.


It became one of the town’s most popular clubs, opening its doors in 1994 and saying a sad farewell to revellers in 2010.


And now the building - in Exchange Place, underneath Middlesbrough railway station - is set to become offices.


Phil Saunders, company manager at event promoters Ten Feet Tall, worked at the venue as a promoter and warmed up for many acts with his band Helter Skelter as a teenager.

The 36-year-old, from Norton, said: “I guess they had a little bit of something for everyone.


“On Thursdays was a big pop night. On Friday it was indie and Saturday was a well-known gay night.


“It was a labyrinth - like a maze. Just such an unusual space.”
