At one stage Heritage Inns had planning permission to refurbish it but nothing came of that. http://pubs-of-manchester.blogspot.co.uk/search/label/Edinburgh%20Castle%20-%20Blossom%20Street According to Manchester Evening News in 2016 http://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/greater-manchester-news/edinburgh-castle-ancoats-real-ale-11259784 it will be " transformed into a new drinking hole under plans by developers First Step - while 21 new apartments will be built next to it. ...
