Crown Inn, City Road

Crown Inn, City Road, Hulme. (c) Bob Potts [1].

The Crown was at 122 City Road, opening in 1868, although in 1871 it was named as the Roebuck Inn on the census [1].   It was a Peter Walker & Son house and it closed in 1937 [2] and its old corner is now lost somewhere beneath the Mancunian Way - Princess Road interchange.
