Report - Cristal main brothel / Styxs nightclub Denton - November 2014

[Inky]

So This has been on my list for a while, not because I expected anything special just because it was so close to where I work. I tried a couple of times but a packed pub next door made it hard work. I ended up moochin past by chance and noticed another way in so jibbed in whilst I had the chance.

Can't find a lot about the club, it closed in about 2005 I think as I remember it being open when I was younger. If anyone knows of any info I wouldn't mind a read!

The brothel was in the news a few times with stories of trafficking and stuff like that.

From the GMP Tameside West Facebook page...

Two people have been arrested and charged with offences relating to running a brothel on Amelia Street Denton.

Officers attended at a business known as Cristal Main following information which had been received from the local community, who had raised concerns regarding possible people trafficking into the sex industry.

Following investigations a male and a female have been arrested and charged for offences relating to the running of a brothel, allowing the use of the property for criminal gain and prostitution offences.

The slates been nicked off the roof so it's pretty grim...

Well that's a strange place for sure.

Thought this place was more fucked over tbh. Just looked at a map from late 1800's and it says Wesleyan Chapel, might explain that sweet woodwork.

Ye the ceiling was decent the pics don't really do it justice, shame the rest is so haggard! Cheers for the info!

Been going past this place for ages thinking about hitting it up, every time though more and more of the roof is missing hahaha

What gets me on cristal main, is how did you manage to take pics of the inside of the club, surely you would need a key to the place, am I right.

 

[Inky]

Not quite haha

Me thinks this may be the owner..

Well by looking at the pics you took, they would have been taken after many times the club were broken into after gmp closing it down.

Me thinks you may be right, obviously got issues either way

Thing is, very few places (especially dis-used) are as secure as you think they are Stacey

If you do indeed own/maintain this place you really ought to do a better job of securing it and keeping pesky photographers out, of course people doing this silly hobby are the least of your problems

 

[Inky]

Ye I thought that myself, at the end of the day the place has no roof on it it's hardly secure. Lol

Probably an old working girl, innit.
