- I didn't research this building before I got there because I came across it by accident. Here is some info that I found out later. It began business in the 1880s. McCauley's was situated on 77-83 Bradshawgate in premises that were at one time one of UCP's tripe restaurants and later an Italian restaurant.
Earlier than that, one part of the premises was used as a pub. The Bus Drivers Inn was situated at 77 Bradshawgate - McCauley's entrance - from around the 1860s until it lost its licence in 1883. The 1905 Bolton directory showed that 79 Bradshawgate was occupied by John Robert Horrocks who was described as a 'tripe dealer. By 1924 the premises were owned by Vose & Son, a branch of United Cattle Product Ltd. Voses's were described as 'tripe dressers'. The outlet at 79 Bradshawgate was handy as it was just yards away from the company's tripe works on Silverwell Lane.
I remember McCauley`s well. Before it shut down it used to sell cheap doubles and was used as an office by local dealers and shoplifters.
Never ever open old fridges/ freezers in abandoned buildings.
Absolutely fascinating!
It's amazing how nightclubs miraculously go up in flames when they're not making any money!!??
We went every wednesday to Mccauleys 5 quid wristband, then 1 quid drinks all evening. Great night club
Being demolished now.
My best guess would be that first room you were in used to be the staff kitchen.
Interesting. I looked up the bar...seemed like a douche bar before it was shut down. And checking Google View, it seems like they're repairing the building for its next chapter.
Decades ago i believe it was a tripe cafe . There were lots of them in Bolton offering a meal of tripe and onions for very little money . The stink must have been horrendous x
The leprechaun bit I near fell of my chair laughing 😂😂😂😂🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🍺🍺
Like to know what it started out as and the age?
I used to go in the in the early 2000’s
