harpurhey m9 5sy looks to me as though the pub was launched in the 1960 s along with the surrounding houses and shops in 1910 lathbury road looked like this in 1968 the area was part of the manchester slum clearance programme photo tommy brooks the real ark royal was built by cammel laird at birkenhead completed in november 1938 torpedoed and subsequently sunk on 10th november 1941 the pub closed in 2007 here it is in 1992 photo alan winfield another great looking estate pub that was on the same estate as the hipp which it was also fairly close to there was the usual two rooms inside i had a drink in the bar room which was quite busy on my friday afternoon visit there was also a more comfortable lounge the pub was a robinsons tied house there were two real ales on i had a drink of robinsons bitter which was a nice drink there was also robinsons mild on another pub that was was well pleased to do never ending pub crawl here its is in 2007 photo mikey the pub currently trades as

stockport sk4 2ba do not let the unusual design of the exterior put you off visiting this pub when it first opened it was called the moss rose an extensive refit had very considerably improved the interior decor of this once welcoming pub with its pleasant vault and well appointed lounge quiz is on wednesdays and a disco on saturdays lunches twelve until three do not let the fact that the pub was demolished on the 26th of november 2013 deter you from visiting we still have our memories and a few surviving snaps i have lived almost opposite the site for sixteen years though ever so local it was never my local but it provided a convenient and comfortable bolthole for the odd pint every now and again once it looked just like this opened in 1971 it was and always was a hydes pub stockport image archive it had a distinctive architectural style and layout all of its own an asymmetric timber clad dwelling at the core complemented by a fan of single story rooms extending into the car park the name was changed subsequent to the tragic and unfortunate gangland killing that took place in september 1999 it never seemed to recover from such a damning reputation and though well used by the many residents in the well populated surrounding area the offer of hard cash for the site must in the end have proved irresistible the doors closed the windows boarded up no more karaoke no more northen soul no more free pool no more nothing the hoardings went up the pub came down now it s a co op with flats attached posted in architecture closed design england estate pub history hydes

years on bike and bus never stopping for a pint but intrigued by the distinctive sixties architecture an exciting adjunct to the adjacent woodley precinct the physical embodiment of the post war brick and concrete optimism which permeates the post war period when full employment in a plethora of manual trades ensured a steady flow of post work customers expecting a steady flow of robinson s draught beers then one day i passed by bike and you were shuttered up sat silently on hyde road the windows of your soul staring blankly at the passing parade when i pass by all the people say just another

manchester road heaton norris stockport sk4 1tn in the 1960 s you were built as an estate pub by boddington s to serve the new housing developments at the top of lancashire hill two large rooms separated by the bar you were transformed into the cosmopolitan and latterly the venue applications were made for change of use to a takeaway and a carwash neither would take or wash in march 2009 you closed your doors to the drinker forever like a seriously unwanted child you were snapped once and only once it seems prior to being boarded up and out then reinvented as luxury apartments i ve

and partridge once an estate pub clean lines bare brick fur coat no curtains you know the score over time a boozer gets ideas about itself ends up getting rendered and whitewashed by the brewery s guileless gentrifiers who possess the unwholesome taste of a past their sell by date bag of pound shop crisps not satisfied with the farrow and ballisation of our culture we now have to contend with the argosifiers too where will it all end i ve never been in thieves have though a masked gang were frightened off from a stockport pub by the landlord and landlady officers describe the gang as wearing dark clothes and balaclavas and carrying large knives detective sergeant geoffrey machent said the landlord and landlady were understandably shocked to be confronted by these three intruders

new york dolls so to the moor top seen here in 1975 a brick tile and render fortress that has attempted to dress up as tudorbethan barn and failed surrounded by late victorian and edwardian mansions ashamed of its inherent lack of history currently swathed in hanging baskets and the inevitable coaching lamp it is undergoing yet another period of transition taken over by the adjacent damson
