You’re never too old to dance. But if your clubbing days are behind you, these retro photos should put a spring back in your step.

They take you back to the 80s and 90s, showing popular nightclubs around Yorkshire at the time.

Clubbers are seen giving it large on the dancefloor, celebrity guests are pictured mingling with the masses, and managers are shown in the clubs they ran.

Looking at these evocative images, you can almost smell the distinctive blend of sweat, spilt alcohol and overpowering aftershave, and feel the sticky dance floor under your feet.
