Historic Interest
Sadler's Cat, originally known as The Pilcrow, was the first Public house to be purpose built as part of the Cooperative Society's commitment to regenerate part of the City following demolition of the Crown and Cushion public house to make way for a new public road which was demanded by the building of a new Cooperative Society HQ in Manchester. The building is now owned by the City Council due to Financial Failures of the Coop Bank.
