Church Inn, Cross Lane, Salford, 1974. (c) Arthur Brougham with family's permission.
The Church Inn was in a row of shops, three doors from Regent Road at the bottom end of Cross Lane, opposite the old Palace Theatre. It started out as a shop but in the 1860s, shopkeeper Matthew Bradshaw obtained a beer retailers licence. Towards the end of the century the Church Inn comprised a front room vault, parlour behind with kichen and scullery to the rear.

The milk shop next door was incorporated and in 1906 a smoke room extension was added in the back yard by owners, the Rochdale & Manor Brewery who surrendered their licence at the Tyrone Castle, Arlington Street for these improvements. By the 1960s Sam Smith's Brewery owned the Church, but along with its neighbours - the Wellington across the road, the Railway, the Station etc - it was pulled down in 1979.
