The Lord Nelson, at the top of Newton Street, just off Great Ancoats Street, has been shut for most of 2010 now and there is no suggestion it'll reopen any time soon. This is a minor loss though, as in recent years it has been something of a no-go pub; both in terms of its clientèle and its lack of ale. Although in the past it has been a Yates' Ardwick Ales (1959), Magnet Ales (1970s and below) and John Smiths (1994) house, in its death throes in the last few years it was a keg-only pub frequented by rough and ready locals who could be rather unwelcoming at times.

Shame, as go back 7-8 years ago and I remember cask and a decent jukebox being on offer. The plaque on the front reads 1895, but there has been a Lord Nelson here since 1830, and in a previous guise it had a brewhouse attached [1].

EDIT: As of June 2011 The Lord Nelson has now been demolished to be replaced with... nothing.
