  • Location / Sheffield (Middlewood/Wadsley), England
  • Venue / Middlewood Club

The first show by the band in this city since February 1979.

The first time at this venue.

This venue was located in the Middlewood and Wadsley suburbs of Sheffield near Wadsley Park which is 2 miles North East of Steve Clark's grave site in Loxley and his childhood home.

Middlewood itself is 4.5 miles north west of Sheffield city centre.

The club where the band performed is no longer open. It is believed to have been linked to the Middlewood Hospital building with at least one attendee confirming the band played a show "at a hospital building".

The former psychiatric hospital has now been converted into apartments.

The hospital was opened in 1872 and was closed for good as a hospital in 1996.

The building was also named as South Yorkshire Asylum, West Riding Asylum, Wadsley and Wadsley Mental Hospital. It was renamed as Middlewood Hospital from 1948 until its closure.
