"Ye Olde Nelson" in Salford

Originally dating from 1805, the Nelson Tavern was named after Lord Nelson who died at Trafalgar that year. It was re-built in 1899, opened in 1905 and closed for good in 2003. Now it looks set to be wiped off the map completely...with the words of Hazel Blears et al rolling down Chapel Street... "historic buildings and public spaces such as Ye Olde Nelson and Bexley Square will be revitalized and brought back into active use..."
