The oddly-named Jerralea Hotel was on Anson Road in Victoria Park. As seen in the 1970s photo at the archives, the Jerralea Hotel was a fully licensed bar and restaurant, offering morning coffee, luncheons 12-2pm, and afternoon teas. The exact old location of the Jerralea Hotel on Anson Road is not known, but it's likely it was lost to further redevelopment of Victoria Park into the student dominated area it is today.
I used to work for the owner Lester Farber & his partner Michael Ashurst (Accountants) when I first left school..There was the Jerralea Hotel, and the New Jerralea. The Accountants offices were in The Jerralea Hotel, and guests mainly occupied the New Jerralea.(I think, or it may have been the other way round.I was there from being 16 and left when I was 21 to go and work for the South Manchester Health Authority. Had some lovely times there.
