Lancaster, Stockport Road

The Victorian splendour of the old Lancaster Hotel on the corer of Plymouth Grove West and Stockport Road is barely recognisable from the modest conversion that stood here in more recent times [1].  Alan Winfield at Pubs Galore photographed the Lancaster as a Vaux house in 1993 [2], before it was demolished later in the '90s to leave nothing but an all-too familiar pub-shaped empty plot.
