Talisman / Cock o' the North, Oatlands Road

The Talisman is the most recently demolished Wythenshawe boozer, closing in September 2008 and being pulled down on 22nd December 2009 [1].

This Burtonwood house was originally named Cock o' the North, which was rather appropriate given its rough reputation, and it closed its doors under Marstons.

The Talisman is still shown as open Google, but this pub-less spot on the corner of Portway and Oatlands Road was fenced off this summer, pub sign still standing, with houses and flats planned.
