Jaysay, the Hacienda was at the end of Whitworth Street West, near G-Mex/Central Station. The Wheel actually started life in 1963 on Brazennose Sreet, running down from Albert Square to Deansgate. Then, in 1965 it moved to Whitworth Street - if you walk up from Piccadilly Gardens towards Piccadilly Station, but instead of going up the station ramp, walk past it down London Road, Whitworth Street is one of the streets running off to your right. The Wheel is at the end of the first block on your right. It became Placemate, after the Wheel. It's actually still there, but it's a gay club now. They have regular Wheel revival nights sometimes - been to one or two of 'em.
