The 40 square foot Hydes pub on the corner of Ducie Street and Pigeon Street, is one of Manchester's few surviving old beerhouses. On the 1849 map the Jolly Angler didn't exist; instead on this corner of what was then Mather Street and Pidgeon [sic] Street was the Mather Street School (Independent Sunday), adjoining the Good Samaritans Total Abstinence Hall. http://pubs-of-manchester.blogspot.co.uk/2010/05/69-jolly-angler-ducie-street.html The pub is shown on a map of 1888. http://manchesterhistory.net/manchester/tours/tour14/area14page38.html Image
