The Crumpsall Hotel has been pulled down recently following stories in the local press about it being under threat due to expansion of the Cheetham Hill Shopping Centre [1]. Shown in the 1970s at the Manchester Local Image Collection, this Holt's house was another classic, grimly-functional estate pub on the corner of Bury Old Road and Tyson Street on the edge of the shopping centre. Today, Iceland's equally ugly new neighbour has replaced the Crumpsall Hotel since it was pulled in 2007 under the compulsory purchase order.
