The old Farmers Arms still stands between Midway Street and Pennington Street on the west side of Stockport Road in Levenshulme. The Farmers is seen in 1959 as a Threlfalls house when Pennington Street was known as Pimlot Street, and later in 1970 when it had passed to Whitbread.

The Farmers Arms is a rather colourful sight these days even thought it's been closed for at least 7 years. Before closure it was briefly renamed the Farmers Kipper (thanks to Pub Curmudgeon for info). As seen above, since 2006 it has gained a new neighbour to the right and stands opposite the also closed old Midway boozer.

In its latter years it had a spell as "The Farmer's Kipper".
ReplyDeleteYour 1959 and 1970 links point to the same picture, btw.
Thanks for the info and fixed that link. Wasn't the Midway renamed for a time as well?
