The former Liberal Club in Eagle Street was the Arts Club for many years before it became Lah-de-Dars night club and now the Gladstone House flats. The Registrar's is indeed in the former Mechanics' Institute. Also on Willow Street was the Baptist Sunday School which became a function suite and then a night club. I'm trying to think what it was called in the 1980s - it was a well-known venue then for 21st birthday parties, etc. It was the building facing the top of Birch Street. I think it was last called "Opium" before it closed as a night club. May be part of the flats now?
