Town Centre Fire

Just been made aware of a fire in the town centre. BN states it’s at the former bar McAuleys.

Just seen the photos, loads of smoke there looks bad.

I'm sure this is the place I walked past over Christmas that had some sort of speakeasy type place going on inside it.

Like a kind of "secret" drinking den. It had shutters down and the door was coated in tin foil, looked closed but had music on. Popped my head in the door and it was full of African fellas smoking, was fucking foggy in there 😆

It was bizarre! Was on Christmas Eve I remember posting about it on here somewhere actually. No signs on the front of it or anything!

Well behind? It’s a prohibition term 😂

Last speakeasy I went into was in Tunisia. 

Loads in Moss Side back In the late 70's early 80's.

Most disappeared in the crackdown after the riots.

A shabeen (dunno about the spelling).

Depost Bar?

It seems like you might've been one of their last customers.

That's the place! It actually looks in better shape on those BN photos than it did in the dark and drunken haze of Christmas Eve... but not by much!
