The Reno began life in 1962 and soon became an important social haven for the areas mixed race communities.
In 1987 Moss Side’s late-night soul and funk club The Reno was bulldozed. The previous year Manchester City Council had deemed the building which housed the venue unsafe, and along with its sister club (The Nile) the late night drinking den on the corner of Princess Road and Moss Lane East was no more.
