Rose & Crown, Denton Street

Rose & Crown, Denton Street, Hulme, 1912. (c) Bob Potts [1].

On the long-lost Denton Street in Hulme, which used to span between the upper ends of Chorlton Road and Upper Moss Lane, used to stand the Rose & Crown on the corner with Bentley Street.  It was first mentioned in 1866 was a Hardy's Brewery house [1] and is shown here as a Peter Walker's of Warrington house with licensee, Sarah Ann Pollitt, outside.  The photo is from 1912 but 25 years later the Rose & Crown closed for good in 1937 [12].  The former location of Denton Street and the Rose & Crown was roughly where Drayton Street is today.
