Champion, Broadwalk

The Champion estate pub was built in 1970 for Greenhall Whitley next to the Unwin Street flats on the south side of Broadwalk on the Pendleton/Salford Precinct.  A traditional feature of many estate pubs was also  prominent - a huge dog on the roof.  The Champion didn't last that long though, closing in 1993 and being pulled down a year later for yet more redevelopment of this blighted part of Salford [1].
