FAC 51 The Hacienda

These unique photographs capture the energy of a legendary nightclub at its peak; sweat, beats, hooded tops and arms waving in the air. They also capture the beauty and colour of a much-copied world-famous design; with the interior architect Ben Kelly, Peter Saville fashioned an image, part Bauhaus, part Chicago House, for this stripped-down, post-industrial space. As Kelly himself has said - "Having got involved with Peter Saville and having some understanding of Factory, I perhaps had the arrogance to think I could interpret what Factory was about from a two-dimensional point of view, the record sleeves, into a three-dimensional environment."

Ian Tilton photographed the interior and exterior of The Hacienda to stunning effect. Also, in these images of outstretched arms and smiling faces he captured a nightclub at its peak in an era and a club that have achieved mythical status.
