Welsh Harp, Lees (Laystall) Street

Welsh Harp, Lees (Laystall) Street. (c) Manchester Local Image Collection. Click here to view full image.

The Welsh Harp was around the corner from the still standing and open Jolly Angler, down Laystall (then Lees) Street from the recently gone White House.  It opened in the 1820s and closed in 1922 having been a Cronshaws then Groves & Whitnall house, after the giant brewery took over the smaller Cronshaws Alexandra Brewery of Hulme and all their beer- and public houses.  You can just about see the Welsh Harp here in 1898, halfway down Lees Street on the right.
