Greenheys Hotel, Vine Street, Hulme. (c) Bob Potts [1].
The Greenheys Hotel on Vine Street in Hulme was a rarity, a Walker Cain's house. The Liverpool brewer didn't have too many pubs at this end of the East Lancs Road, but the Greenheys Hotel was a fully licensed house opening in 1853 and lasting until 1964. Vine Street, which used to run south off Stretford Road, and all surrounding streets, houses, pubs and shops were all obliterated from the map during the 1960s and '70s ill-fated regeneration of Hulme. The site of the old Greenheys Hotel was somewhere near where the Phoenix Way offices are today, just off the Parkway.

ReplyDeleteI have a flask from late 1800's when T Walton owned it.
ReplyDeleteIt was my family, the Walton's, that owned The Greeheys certainly in 1871 - 1873. Am trying to find out when they sold/vacated. Amazing that you have a flask from that time

ReplyDeleteMy Great Grandparents had the Greenheys Hotel in the late 1920's, early 30s.
ReplyDeleteDo you have any info as to who they acquired it from and when?
DeleteMy father's cousins enid and margery who were albert/alfred's daughters ran the place until it was pulled down. They then lived on the bury rochdale border until their fathers death. They then moved to lytham st Anne's until their deaths around the millennium
