Gatecrasher One was a nightclub in Sheffield, South Yorkshire, England. The club was a converted warehouse owned by the Gatecrasher dance music brand. The nightclub was originally named The Republic, but this was changed in 2003 after a £1.5 million refurbishment. On 18 June 2007 the venue caught fire and partially collapsed. The building was later demolished. == History== Gatecrasher One started life as the Roper and Wreaks works, on Matilda street, and was constructed around 1910. The building was a two story brick built warehouse and remained an industrial building until 1986. In 1991 a planning application to convert the building into offices was submitted. 〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=004O62NYBU000 – Site Of Gatecrasher One 112-Arundel Street-Sheffield-S1 4RE- )〕 These plans were never carried out and a number of applications were submitted to convert the building into a nightclub. The conversion took place in 1995 opening to the public on 1 December of that year.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Gatecrasher – Timeline Photos – Facebook )〕 The club was initially a financial failure, failing to attract the numbers expected. The fortunes of the club were changed when, in 1996, the Gatecrasher night started to use the building for Saturday night events, initially as a few one off events, eventually becoming Gatecrasher's permanent home. The rise in success of the Gatecrasher brand coincided with financial troubles for the owner, leading to Gatecrasher buying the venue at a reported six figure sum. Gatecrasher continually improved the venue, adding a VIP room and replacing the original crane in the main room with the lighting rig arches. In 2003, Gatecrasher repositioned the brand and after a refurbishment, decided to rename the club. The Gatecrasher brand planned a large expansion of clubs, and the "one" in the name was to be the first of 10 clubs. The other clubs were not however called 2, 3, 4, and 5.
