Frascati was an Italian pub-cum-restaurant (referred to in some records as Frascati's Restaurant) on Oxford Road. The pub was a Walker & Homfray then Wilsons Brewery house and closed in 1965 having formerly been known as Cima's Restaurant [1]. It's shown here at the archives in 1956 (the hung sign says "Bar & Lounge"). Frascati was a grand looking pub on the corner of Rosamond Street East. Both the buildings and the street have been lost; the route is still there but pedestrianised down the site of the Manchester Aquatics Centre (out of shot to the left).
