Students are petitioning for a nightclub named after its location to change its name - over associations to the city s slave trade.
The Sugarhouse Nightclub is located on Sugarhouse Alley in Lancaster and is run by Lancaster University s Student Union.
But undergrads think it should be renamed to ensure that vicious atrocities are not normalised or celebrated .
The stretch is so called after a city sugarhouse, which had provided funds the local economy and many of the buildings in the area.
But academics have pointed out its contents would have come from slave labour.
A petition has been set up and needs around 320 signatures to be considered, but currently has just shy of 200.
