Former site of Junction Inn, Jutland Street. (c) googlemaps.
The Junction Inn was sited on this small stub of Jutland Street, which in 1849, was known as Junction Street. The exact location of the pub was where the black Mini is in the centre-left. The street and pub were likely named after Junction Wharf on the Rochdale Canal which led to the basin shown below which then was surrounded by stores, an iron warehouse, stables and a sand yard. These days this area is nothing more than a giant car park.

Would this have first been called Bentley's Arms? I've found reference to this in a news paper advert in 1834
