Osborne, Rochdale Road

This distinctive old pub is on the corner of Rochdale Road and Osborne Street in Collyhurst about a mile up Rochdale Road from town.  Seen in busier times in 1958, 1976 (I think as a Wilsons house), three times here in 1981, it was also a Banks's house as seen in 1986.  The Osborne has been renovated in recent years since a side wall collapse [1] and could be earmarked for conversion to flats.

      Hello. I am attempting to locate a photo of Albert 'Tim' Carlisle, in connection with some research I am carrying out into the Manchester-born writer and composer, Anthony Burgess. I would be keen to correspond with you directly if you are happy to reply.

    I worked there when Rick and Mal Jones were the landlords in the late 80's.
