Video – Goodbye Mr Smiths…

Iconic Warrington nightclub falls to Excavation & Contracting might.

Those of a certain vintage might recall a UK TV show called The Hitman and Her from way back at the end of the 1980s. This “yoof culture” and music show combined the talents of producer Pete Waterman (the Hitman) and TV starlet Michaela Strachan (Her) long before they sought pastures new with model trains and sick animals respectively.

Well, the venue for that show – Mr Smiths in Warrington – has gone the way of the the odd mix of rave and banal Waterman-esque pop music featured in the programme. And Warrington-based Excavation & Contracting is now laying this once iconic venue to rest.
