A housing estate is being built on the site of a former nightclub that once boasted a series of A-listers as regulars and had Girls Aloud perform on its famous stage.

Despite having a stellar reputation in its heyday, Yarm's Tall Trees now looks unrecognisable after making way for a housing estate, which is being built by Bede Housing. 

Located right on the spot where the dancefloor and club areas once stood, the housebuilder is constructing 21 houses, which will be sold for between £450,000 and £750,000 and are five-bedroomed.

Named the Beck View estate, the new houses are located near Yarm train station and are among other housebuilders that are building near this area, including Avant and Mulberry Homes.

But it has a very different past.

For the early 1990s and early 2000s, Tall Trees in Yarm was the place to be across the North East and North Yorkshire - boasting acts such as Girls Aloud, and seeing guests that included Chesney Hawkes and even former Prime Minister John Major.

Home to Club Macmillans - also known affectionately as Club M - the venue attracted many big names throughout the noughties. 

As part of exploring what Yarm Tall Trees will be becoming next, The Northern Echo met up with Richard Buckley, a director of Bede Homes, to look around the site.

 Mr Buckley still remembers the past of the club, and how famous it was for the region. 

He said: "If you ask anyone of a certain age about Tall Trees - they'll be able to tell you all about it. It's one of those places that's special to people growing up. 

"And it's nice to have a name like that linked with the housing estate. While it's completely different from a nightclub, and we hope to provide luxury homes for families, we can appreciate Tall Trees and it putting Yarm on the map."
