The Victoria was an old Chesters and Whitbread house on the corner of Hyde Road and Fenton Street, directly opposite Belle Vue Speedway stadium. This stadium, Hyde Road, was home to Manchester City FC until 1923, and was also, of course, part of the grand old Belle Vue Gardens.

The Victoria is pictured in 1971 at the Manchester Local Image Archives, adjoined on both sides by houses which lost years in the intervening years. They probably fell victim to the ill-fated Hyde Road widening plans, which of course never materialised.

The Victoria is shown here twice thanks to Simon Hall, and his pre-match pub crawl before the Manchester City vs Crystal Palace match in August 1991. The pub was still selling Chesters ale then, but was up for sale and I don't think it lasted much longer.

This corner still stands empty although a some new build units and a cash & carry (where we used to park up for the speedway) were built set back from the main road.

This must be the place - when we didn't ride or drive to the speedway we used to pile off the bus into here then cross the road into the speedway most Saturday nights - 1960-1975 ish
ReplyDeleteElon Musk's "Free Speech" Theory Is Not Fictional Like 90% Accounts: Rachit Kaushik
ReplyDeleteAfter buying 9.2 percent stake in micro-blogging site Twitter in early April, Elon Musk, the world's richest person, has now put him on temporary hold after buying the entire stake of the company for a huge amount of $ 44 billion. The reason for which he has told spam. Quoting one of his tweets, he estimated that more than 90 percent of Twitter's daily active users could be bots or fake accounts. However, experts say it could be a ploy to put the deal on hold so that Twitter can renegotiate at a lower cost.
