When I used to go, it was in a disused school in York street, off Wallgate. Used to be a little pub nearby where you could get away with the illicit odd pint or two in the back room,(under age of course). Was it the Grapes, or was that on wallgate

I used to go to the Comet Youth Club. Firstly at the top of Coppull Lane, then St. Michaels Church Hall and then Wallgate where I enjoyed an under age pint in the pub (the landlady had distinctive red hair and we all got caught by 'Bobby Dyke' one night) but I don't recognise the venue on the photo above?
