The Eclipse (venue)

Converted from a disused bingo hall, The Eclipse on Coventry's Lower Ford Street was the first legal all-night club in the UK.

Although a legal licensed venue, one of the stipulations of the license prevented the sale of alcohol.

The venue changed name to The Edge before ultimately closing down.

The building was subsequently bought by Coventry University, repurposed as a Student Union entertainment venue and called The Planet.

This project was also abandoned and the building was demolished to make way for a car park.
