Where was the Shabina? I don't remember that one.

Just a little further up Great Horton Road from Shearbridge roundabout on the right (on the corner of a side road).

I think it's something else now, but I forget what. I'll be driving down that way in a couple of hours, so I'll swing by and have a look what it is now.

Ah, I know the one. On the corner of the first right up from the roundabout? Right opposite the new private halls that have been built? At the moment the entrance is a bit of dry seclusion from the elements for the people who work in the council depot on Shearbridge Road to have their fags in. It's also where I roll my first fag of the morning walking in to work on windy days.

There used to be an indie venue underneath it as I recall, if we're thinking of the same place. I went to a few punk gigs down there in the early 90s.

atm it's nothing but an emptry building otherwise.

Aye, it was right on the corner of Summerville Rd and Gt Horton Rd. There was no indie club underneath it though. That was a bit further down, was called the Underworld IIRC, a goth place that served booze in purple plastic glasses.

Used to be able to get a superb curry for £2.50+ back in the early 90s in the Shabina. It was always packed too, a great place. Nowhere else has ever really come close thought I may have my rose tinted specs on now.

I remember my first proper Bradford curry was in the Evershine (or Eversh1te as it was known!) on Morley Street just by Pickwicks (also now gone!). That was very decent too but the place was shut a year or so later after an Environmental Health visit IIRC.

If it's right on that corner then the Underworld was deffo underneath it. The whole place is about three terraced houses wide as it faces GH Road, and the entrance for Underworld was on GH Road. To the left is road, to the right is council depot.

The Shabina is now a Rajas. Drove past a short while ago, and it's definitely still open.

I also thought the underworld was just a little bit along from there, but I only went once so I'm not 100% sure.

I agree about the quality of the Shabina though. Was always my favourite curry when I was at Uni (about 8-10 years ago)

The Underworld deffo wasn't underneath the Shabina. It was the same side of Gt Horton Rd but under the row at the other side of Summerville Rd. More opposite the filling station than the Shabina. Anyway, enough of such minutae. The Shabina ruled. I still mourn its passing.

Was Underworld called Nexus at one point, because I remember going into some sort of nightclub on that side of the road a good few years ago. It was a complete dive.

Ah, right. The other corner. :)
