Iron Duke, Clopton Walk

The Iron Duke was sited to the West of Charles Barry Crescent on what I think was Clopton Walk.  Both pub and street are long gone since the demolition of the disastrous Hulme experiment in social engineering of the 1970s and '80s.

The Iron Duke was a Bass house, built into the row of council house type shops.  The pub is shown at 3m20s in this great video tour of Hulme by bicycle.  Alan Winfield has posted a great colour photo of the Iron Duke in all its functional glory at pubsgalore.

  1. The Iron Duke was next to the library which is still there. It was the pub in which the old Rastas would congregate.
