Bournemouth has never been short of social venues and nightspots.

The town has seen many vibrant venues come and go over the past decades - including Zig Zag, The Academy, Bumbles and Jumpin Jaks.

Join the Daily Echo as it takes a journey back through time with pictures of old nightclubs, discotheques and bars.

Along with images of nightspots as they were in the 80s, 90s and 00s are pictures of the same places in recent years.
