Tony Dixon on the Manchester Forum remembers the Bay Horse: "The pub had a most unusual lay-out with the bar being at ground level as you'd expect but the tap-room complete with Manchester dart board was up a flight of stairs whilst the best room was in the basement [1]."

The 1849 map shows the Bay Horse on the corner of Hanover Street and Long Millgate, which makes sense when Corporation Street is superimposed over the old map [2]. The 1915 map shows the location of the Bay Horse on this corner after Corporation Street had been extended [3], as shown here in 1969; an engineering feat which preserved the Bay Horse.
