Top Storey Club
The Top Storey Club was a nightclub in Bolton, Greater Manchester, UK. It achieved notoriety for a fire that occurred in May 1961 in which 19 people perished.
==The club==
The club was located on Crown Street in Bolton and was on the top floors of an old mill warehouse building. From the street front, the building had 3 floors but the warehouse was built on a slope so the rear had 8 floors looking out on to the River Croal which at this point ran in a brick-lined channel. The club was opened in December 1960 by Stanley Wilcock who rented the building, using the lower floors for his business making kitchen furniture. In March 1961, Wilcock sold his interest in the nightclub which occupied the top two floors of the warehouse to two Manchester businessmen, Denis Wilson and Richard Sorrensen. Wilcock remained on the lower floors with his business. The club was small with just a few tables where customers could sit and listen or dance to tape- recorded music. The maximum occupancy was about 200.
The owners of the building learnt about the nightclub from an advertisement in the Bolton Evening News and were concerned the building would be unsuitable for such use. On 1 May 1961 at 10.35pm, one of the owners, Norman Balshaw went to the club and told Wilson and Sorrensen that the club was not to be continued and they must vacate by 24 June.〔Details of Coroner’s Inquest, 30 January 1961 - June 13, 1961, Folder ABZ/73/1, Bolton Archive〕
