The Cavendish - Cavendish Street, Hulme
![]() This building is home to
a drinking and eating place called "Cavendish".
Clearly it was once a Wilson's pub and if you click on
the link below you can see it in 1958, when it was known
as Clynes Wine Bar.
According to the Pubs
of Manchester website the story behind Clynes Wine Bar
is that, "(Thomas Clynes) took over the Cavendish Arms
on Cavendish Street and renamed it Clynes Wine Bar
which lasted about a century." The
website adds, "Clynes was the most rough and
ready boozer I've ever been in, genuine hardcore Irish
place. It was called a Wine Bar as it allowed it to
stay open all day in the dark licensing law days - I
doubt anyone ever drank any wine though
.... Clynes eventually sold up to Naval Brewery
of Hulme and the Clynes Vaults and Clynes Wine Bar
both passed to Wilsons Brewery."
