Coach & Horses, London Road, 1986. (c) Mick Pye.
The Coach & Horses, seen above and below in 1985 on London Road, was originally an artisan's house with a workshop on the top floor [1]. It ended its life as a Tetley house at the bottom of Piccadilly Approach on the corner of Upton Street.

The knackered rectangular sign on the side looks like a Bass sign and in Manchester in the '70s there is a photo of the pub with Double Diamond (The Beer That Men Drink) signage. Before it closed it was also offering Jubilee Stout and Worthington 'E' as seen in the top photo from Mick Pye.

The barber's next door of course ended up as the famous Piccadilly Indian. I remember having a particularly dodgy-looking but very tasty curry in there on the way back from Bolton in August 1999, so the little old Hillman motor is a bit of a red herring.

The City Inn Hotel complex now stands on this site in this part of the city centre that has been utterly transformed in recent years. Visitors to Manchester who've not been back in a while must get a shock when coming out of the station.
