The White Bear stood on the corner of Kinley Street and Hyde Road in West Gorton. It was between the Wheatsheaf and the Crown, the Holts house on the corner of Clowes Street, on the way into Manchester. The White Bear is seen here in 1964, and a few years later showing its Hyde Road entrance in 1971.

ReplyDeleteMy Dad was the licensee of the White Bear. I can remember living there. We left in about 1954 when I was 4.
