Waterloo / Neptune Inn, Preston Street

Waterloo, Preston Street, Hulme. (c) Bob Potts [1].

Shown above in 1952, the Waterloo was at No.10 Preston Street, and was formerly known as the Neptune Inn when it opened in 1844 [2]. The Waterloo had time as a J H Lees (different to today's J W Lees), Walker & Homfray and finally Wilsons house, before it closed in 1965 [1].  Preston Street used to run from Upper Moss Lane to Warde Street, and the Waterloo was at the top end, where today Ellis Street meets Warde Street.
