Dog & Partridge, Davies Street, Salford (right). (c) Neil Richardson [1].
The Dog & Partridge on Davies Street, off Broughton Road (roughly where today's Blackfriars road runs) was a beerhouse formed from the knocking together of a few back-to-back houses. It's first recorded in 1850, Cornbrook Brewery owned it by the 1890s and they rebuilt the Dog & Partridge in 1899. The beerhouse lasted until 1969 after it was served with a compulsory purchase order in March 1968 for the Trinity clearance scheme [1]. Davies Street ran north, to the west of and parallel to the still-surviving Bridgewater Street to the River Irwell, roughly where St Simon Street runs north-to-south, and the Dog & Partidge was was halfway up on the left.

My Grandad was the landlord. William Wilson was his name...same as my Dad's.
ReplyDeleteMy husbands grandparents, Jim and Edith Cooper had the pub in the 50’s and 60’s and his grandmother was Edith Cooper. He has been trying to find out information about them both but he hasn’t had much luck.
ReplyDeleteIf you could provide any information about them he would be very grateful. He has a photograph of them both behind the bar in the pub but little else.
We look forward to hearing from you,
Regards Jim and Pat jennings.
Hi Jim’s Grandma was Edith Wilson not Edith Cooper, sorry for the mistake.
