the victoria hotel the hotel was designed and built by james reilly who had done the same for the pomona palace first thought was to call it the duke of york but by 1874 the hotel was completed and opened as the victoria built in the grand victorian manner but then the seven properties were introduced after the victoria hotel was replaced it is formed by shops from station road through to atkinson where the empress cinema sat and includes an open arcade with the then new pub this became phase two of urmston s redevelopment scheme after the precinct was decided on the project by edendale property ltd and booth dale investments was intended for 1964 but eventually arrived in 1966 since then it has gone through radical changes and major disappointment tending to be the result 1967 had council approving of the area being designated a pedestrian precinct and officially named as victoria parade urmston net the new arrival seems to have been pared back to a brick and wooden shuttering box the most austere of sixties architectural styling its history seems to have been to say the least unremarkable until it received a 2011 makeover as the boogie piano bar the crazy piano phenomena is coming to manchester for the first time with the launch of the boogie piano bar party goers throughout the globe have taken to the new style piano bars for a good sing song to the latest tunes as well as classic tracks and now britain s second city will have its first crazy piano venue you have live music and can enjoy a crazy sing along it s not what people think of from a stuffy old school piano venue inspiral carpet s clint boon and celebrity make up artist armand were among the guests at the boogie piano bar in atkinson road urmston for the vip opening on friday december 2 with a special performance from pianist tom lannon the brainchild of entrepreneur and restaurateur joe abid the new piano bar is the latest addition to his urmston venues which include the boogie lounge also refurbished with a 160k investment the piano boogie bar is open seven days a week with live music on fridays and saturdays when it is open until 2pm and has capacity for 200 revellers with sumptuous booth seating it will be offering cocktails house wines and fizz and will be serving tapas style snacks as well as a bar menu with burgers nachos and other bar meals from 6 95 it will also be serving a full sunday lunch i love manchester the craze for crazy piano appears to have been short lived as it was reinvented once again this time as stage one bar stage one bar is part of the urmston music foundation an all embracing name for several ideas for venues in victoria parade the project is aimed at young adults with an interest in live music and in performing what pub saturday 6th march 2021 closed even before the covid crisis and sold at auction for 205 000 the victoria is now beyond forlorn the property is located in urmston town centre at the end of an established retail parade known as victoria parade with access at the rear being taken from atkinson road urmston railway station is approximately 150 metres to the north west not much by way of a eulogy this particular

by modernmoocher lorimers arms osborne street collyhurst manchester m40 7pz the lorimers arms was an estate pub that was situated in between rochdale and oldham roads in the collyhurst area of manchester the pub had two rooms with a fairly basic bar and a more comfortable lounge i had a drink in the bar which was a decent enough room to have a drink in when i visited this pub it was a vaux tied house and there were no real ales on the bar i had a drink of keg samson bitter and this was a pretty poor drink the pub is still standing but has closed down and been converted to other use yet another manchester pub to close down alan winfield typical of its time developed to meet the needs of the new estates which replaced the slum clearance of the sixties in an area surrounded by industry once home to the osborne street baths and wash house and a pub of an earlier age the osborne still standing ceased trading manchester locai image collection photo gene hunt much of this is now gone the buildings the people and the work the pub had briefly become the centre for a telephone chatline service prior to its current use as a place of worship for the christ temple international church i chatted for a while with kath who lives opposite she had been a barmaid in the vault at billy greens boarded up and then demolished we recalled pubs long gone and the loss of trade the folks that drank in there have all passed on the vine is still open but nobody goes in there we have to go into town but it s dearer there i like the millstone and the wheatsheaf thanks for taking time to chat

comment the gamecock hulme posted on november 13 2019 by modernmoocher booth street west boundary lane hulme manchester m15 6ge manchester local image collection 1964 the old hulme the old hulme of tight dense dark terraces shops industry and hubbub swept away by the waves of progress that washed over the area in the 1970s a system built concrete haven for a brave new world thus heralding the birth of the gamecock in 1974 as a wilson s house very much in the estate pub manner the pub survived the demolition of the brave new hulme from 1993 to 1995 as fresher waves of progress heralded the expansion of higher education seen here as a belhaven house in 1993 the gamecock ever in the shadow of one of the few remaining housing blocks photograph alan winfield nobody knows precisely when it ceased to be a pub suffice to say that at some point it sadly ceased to be a pub it now stands abandoned slowly reclaimed by nature as bramble and dock scramble over its sharp interlocking volumes of

earlier victorian era having been cleared away and a brave new world assembled in the 1960s i can find no reference online regarding your upbringing later years or final demise you passed it seems without trace you had a later flowering as an islamic centre as did full many other an estate pub though this too was short lived as the al falah moved on up the road where sadly a suspected arson

varley street miles platting manchester m40 8ee the national divinity of the greeks apollo has been variously recognized as a god of archery music and dance truth and prophecy healing and diseases the

photograph for confirming my suspicions whatever happened to the sign one wonders for after all pubs are by their nature dionysian relating to the sensual spontaneous and emotional aspects of human

surprising space age alacrity apollo son of leto and zeus is born with a big block of flats for company a typically functionalist boozer with a two storey pitched roof home at its core with outrigger bars and commodious car park thanks again to alan winfield for his neat appraisal an estate pub that had a large block of flats next to it the pub had two rooms i had a drink in the bar which had a very rough edge to it the apollo was a boddington s tied house so i was pleased there were two real ales on i had a drink of boddington s mild which was a nice drink there was also boddington s bitter
