Shown in higher resolution at the archives, the 1959 photo of the King William IV shows a Threlfalls house on the corner of Rusholme Road and an unknown side street, just off Upper Brook Street. This is the lost Chorlton-on-Medlock Rusholme Road rather than the more famous curry mile. The pub closed in 1967 as the area was cleared for the new Brunswick estate. A replacement King William IV was built on the new Justin Close, as seen in 1970, and here are four more from 1972, but it only lasted until 1996.
