Galloway Arms, York Street


Galloway Arms, York Street, 1950s. (c) Bob Potts [1].

Tucked away down York Street, next door to the once Wellington (you can just see the 'THR' of its Threlfalls sign, right), The Galloway Arms was a  Wilsons house which closed in 1963 [1].  It can be seen next door to the Wellington here in 1973 with the Mancunian Way in the background, although it was no longer a public house a decade after its conversion.  The former site of these pubs (and yet another, the All Saints Tavern) is this car park on York Street, just off Grosvenor Street down the side of The Pub and Sand Bar.
