The Hacienda Manchester, Club, Building, England, Music, Tony Wilson, Architect
The Hacienda Manchester : Fac 51 Building
Manchester Nightclub, northwest England, UK
The Hacienda
Location: Whitworth Street
Date: 1982
Design: Ben Kelly Architects
Now closed, as Fac 51 once home to Factory Records' famous club
This was the joint in the late eighties but fizzled out in
the early nineties damaged by a reputation for violence. A very cool
place (though I preferred the PSV in Hulme and the Ritz further along
Whitworth Street) back in the Madchester days from '89 to '92 with
clubbers travelling from not only England but Europe too.
The building looked like any other brick Victorian block on the outside
but internally had a style which could be linked back to pop art and
also to street furniture. The same architect - Ben Kelly - designed
the 'iconic' Dry 201 bar on Oldham Street.
The Hac featured in a 2006 film about the late Tony Wilson (Factory
Records boss) and the Madchester days. Anthony Wilson died in Aug
2007.
