Mayhap Café

The owner of Mayhap Café was one of the first landlords on the high street to approach For Tyldesley regarding applying for grant funding to enhance historic features of the previously derelict night club on Chapel Street. The project involved restoration of the historic shopfront, new pilasters, corbels and fascia alongside part funding the upper floor timber sash window repairs and replacements. This involved upgrading them with double glazing to reduce the carbon footprint.

Mayhap Café is now a thriving speciality coffee house, on the ground floor, serving an incredible range of coffees, cakes, pastries and brunch options. The first floor consists of two one-bedroom high spec duplex apartments with amazing views over the Cheshire plain. It is now one of the main attractions in the town and has helped increase footfall into Tyldesley from further afield.

Ian Tomlinson, For Tyldesley Community Engagement Manager said ‘this project is a perfect example of what we are trying to achieve in Tyldesley. Bringing a vacant property back into use, providing residential accommodation and creating new jobs for local people. We hope that such projects will provide a great retail and leisure experience, that in turn, will improve the footfall and dwell time in the Conservation Area. We wish him good luck in his new venture’.
