The construction of hundreds of new homes, set to be built on a former Moss Side nightclub, has taken a step forward. New homes are eyed for the former Reno Club, on Barnhill Street.
In its 1970s heyday, the basement club was home to nights filled with rare funk and soul records, imported from America. The Reno was even rumoured to have hosted Muhammad Ali and Bob Marley.
However, it closed in 1986 and the building was later demolished. READ MORE: Rock star sends huge donation to try and save Salford Lads Club Since then, it has been a patch of grass opposite the Heineken brewery next to Princess Road.
