Summer 2018Shelby Bros Take over The Wellington

The Wellington was ‘occupied’ by The Shelby Bros and their motley crew as owners Michael and Sarah Howarth hosted a sell-out evening of flat caps, gambling, dining, 1920s jazz, whiskey, rum and gin - by order of The Peaky Blinders.

The Howarths have really taken the Peaky Blinders theme to heart and have bought the company name ‘Shelby Bros Ltd’. 

Speaking of the renaissance of the town centre, which the refurbished Wellington is a key part of, Mr & Mrs Howarth said: “It is wonderful to be part of the changing face of Rochdale.”

Paraphrasing the Peaky Blinders: “Those of you who are last will soon be first and those of you who are downtrodden Rochdale will rise up.”
