Former location of College Hotel, Oxford Road. (c) googlemaps.
The College Hotel is seen here in 1958 as a Cornbrook Ales house on the corner of Oxford Road and Brunswick Street. It was still there in the 1970s and looks even more impressive having seemingly had a clean up. It has long since been demolished (1974) and now only this grassy plot faces the magnificent Whitworth Hall of Manchester University which gave the College Hotel its name.

In 74 we rescued the concrete college hotel sign and had it embedded in the computer science library walk. Is it still there? Rational was that most innovative design took place in that pub.
ReplyDeleteYes, it's still there.
