Bridge, Mill Street

Bridge Hotel, Mill Street, Ancoats, 1912. (c) Neil Richardson [1].

The Bridge Inn opened on the corner of Beswick Street and Mill Street in 1823 and closed as a Wilsons house a couple of years after its neighbour, the Blue Bell, in 1961 [1].  The Bridge Hotel is shown a century ago as a fine-looking Walkers establishment, complete with a well-presented landlord in the doorway, and equally smart Ancoats locals passing by.  Note the advertisement for lager on the roof...
