The Talbot Hotel was next to Stretford Town Hall at what is now the corner of Kingsway and Chester Road in Stretford. It was built on the site of an old pub called the Bishop Blaize (which of course is now the name of the Wetherspoons further up Chester Road). Pictured above in 1898, the Talbot Hotel is seen here in 1903, as an Openshaw's house here in 1951, and it was still standing by 1961 with a Wimpy next door.

Since the Talbot's demolition in the 1970s, this corner has not been replaced by anything. The southern end of Stretford is slim-pickings these days, with only the Robin Hood and the O'Briens precinct pub since the Drum and Old Cock closed in recent years.
