The pub survives, although nearly all of the contemporary buildings in this area have been demolished. These have been replaced in recent years by new developments. The pub has one end facing onto Ordsall Lane, and its main door faces a grassed area. Probably that is the site of the road it was originally fronting. The pub is owned by the Joseph Holt brewery in Manchester, which was established in 1849, and is still family run. The pub is open but a banner announces that a new tenant is being sought. This is a familiar sight at present. It cannot be easy to run a pub in areas like this. Image
