News that the former Break For The Border nightclub building on Broadway in Peterborough city centre is to open as a club once more – called Velvet – has sent us back down Memory Lane.

Incredibly, it is 20 years since BFTB closed, so we have gone though the archives to dig out photos of 18 venues clubbers from that era will recognise.

What about Cafe en-Seine, The Park, Quo Vadis, Reflex or Toho?
