Millionaire Club / Wiggly Worm, Marble Street


Former Wiggly Worm, Marble Street. (c) .

Opened by the infamous Peter Stringfellow in about 1975, the Millionaire Club was a disco joint.  Also known as the Wiggly Worm in its time, the club was described as being a low-rise building around the back of Lewis's and off Fountain Street - most likely at the junction of Marble Street and Mosley Street West.  After a successful few years in Manchester, Stringfellow went off to London and then the States to make his fortune proper with his empire of lap-dancing clubs.  There were rumours that he was to return in the '90s and then to take over the ailing Ampersand club about 10 years ago, but businesses, residents and the council discouraged him.
