The Loft is a nightclub currently owned by Grace Black. It was established in 2000 by Lewis Richardson and Rory Finnigan. The club has had several owners since then, and has been the location of several large events, such as when Jess Holt pushed Steve over the balcony of the fire escape in 2001, and when Clare Devine was also pushed over the balcony by an initially unknown assailant (later revealed to be Justin Burton) in 2007. Grace Black was also accidentally pushed over the balcony by Freddie Roscoe in November 2014. The nightclub has also been burnt down twice; in 2004 by then-owner Scott Anderson, who was assumed dead but later revealed to be alive, and in 2009 by Clare Devine, in which Warren Fox was also believed to be dead and was also revealed to be alive. In 2002, at least two of Toby Mills's murder victims were found by The Loft.
