The Hacienda
1982

An interesting article from Hac. Newsletter 1V. about the history of that part of the inner city. I always thought “Little Ireland” was a bit further over to Oxford Rd. and across to Ancoats. No doubt Charlie Marx and Freddy Engels were often to be seen strutting their stuff through the cess pit this area notoriously was , with maybe the odd visit from Emmeline Pankhurst. Even up to the ‘50s and early ‘60s this area was rife with slum landlords and boarding houses, often used by “Navvies”, hiring the same bed on shift rotation....that being straight from the horse’s mouth. It was a time of “no blacks, no Irish, no dogs”.....why,what’s wrong with dogs? Eeh it makes you proud...
Can’t imagine many clubs ever giving the lowdown on the socio-economic back ground of the environs of their “glamorous” night club, so well done that man!
