Uni nightclub which played host to stars flattened

There are no plans to replace the building at present

A former university nightclub, which hosted artists including Arctic Monkeys and Ne-Yo in its prime, has been demolished.

Plans to flatten North Shore, near the University of Sunderland's St Peter's Campus, were approved in June.

Previously known as Manor Quay and Campus, the building had not been used since about 2016.

The university said there were currently no plans for a replacement.

The land is to be "graded to seamlessly blend with the existing levels and will be grassed over" after demolition, the Local Democracy Reporting Service previously said.

Permission to pull down the building was given at the start of the summer

Debbie Travis-Waller, who has happy memories of the venue, previously told the BBC that she and fellow former students were "gutted" when they found out the building would be razed.

"It's a proper end of era," she said.

"It was a great part of our lives for a good five or six years."

A spokesman for the university said the venue had not been needed by staff or students for nine years.

"There are no plans for a replacement building on the site at the present time," he said back in May.
