Sherwood, Wilmslow Road


Former Sherwood, Wilmslow Road, Fallowfield. (c) Google 2011. View Larger Map.

The student-only pub (maybe one of the better nearby boozers should implement a No Students policy) known today as the Orange Grove, on the corner of Wilmslow Road and Sherwood Street, was previously known as the Sherwood.  Knowing student tastes, it's doubtful whether the Orange Grove offers much in the way of a traditional boozer or anything worth drinking, but we'll not get the chance to find out.  In the Sherwood 1970s it was a Whitbread house, before that, Threlfalls in 1959.  It's also shown in 1976 looking a bit different due to awnings having been added.
