We asked you Memory Lane readers to cast their minds back to the era of Ibiza nights at the Wesley nightlub in Hartlepool in 2000.

And you did it in style with nearly 14,000 of you showing an interest in our post which we put up on social media.

Of those who responded, more than 7,000 took a look at our video slideshow.

We shared photographs showing a packed crowd of revellers who are seen enjoying a foam party, similar to those pioneered on the holiday island of Ibiza.

And when we asked for your comments, dozens of you took the time to respond.

Leading the way was Thomas Dent who said: “People of today will never experience anything like a Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday night in the Wesley. Imagine just one more night tho, just imagine.”

Adam Whitehead gets our thanks for his response. He said: “So when we where young I kept being told that with age you get better. Lies utter lies. My prime in my eyes was forever lost when the curtains where condemned to scissors. Rip to the strength of owning your terrible hair choice. Lol.”

Rebecca Coates said: “Eee the days of no make up or hair straighteners x.”

Loads of you liked the slideshow of photographs including Sarah Natalie French, Sarah Sotheran, Nicola Smith, Leigh Marlbra, Joanne Donlan, David Kinnersley, Louise Lester, Jordan Allison, Micky Gray and Debbie West.

So did Graham Allen, Jordon Foster, Christine Adams, Jon Breeze, Paul Bage, Natalie Jayde Herbert and Sammie Wynn.
