Waterloo, Burton Road

Waterloo, Burton Road, Withington, 1993. (c) Alan Winfield with kind permission.

The Waterloo was a Wilsons house [1] on Burton Lane, just down from the Orion, off Palatine Road in Withington.  It had a bowling green out the back, like its neighbour the Red Lion, and the Waterloo Bowling Club was based here.  Alan Winfield photographed the Waterloo in 1993 before it was knocked down to be replaced by modern flats.
