The Top Club

Here, where the cenotaph stands is where the Top Club used to be. Lots of stories to tell about that place.

It was a social club. I remember it having an illegal bookies at one point! Reggie Harrison ran it for a while. I know that during the war it was a soup kitchen and later a boxing club. There were a few clubs in Chopwell over the years, the Buffs (ROAB, Royal and Ancient Order of the Buffalos), The Central and The Gaffers.

There were some cracking discos on a Friday night before it was pulled down.
