There was licensed premises here in 1776 although listed sometimes as the White Lion or the Golden Lion. The present building was built in 1876 for Hardy's Brewery of Hulme. In the 1960s it was a Bass pub and then later an Enterprise Inn. It closed in 2010 but re-opened as a community hub in 2011. http://pubs-of-manchester.blogspot.com/search/label/Black%20Lion%20-%20Chapel%20Street It now describes itself as a "family run bed and breakfast" and is also part of the franchise of Pieminister. http://www.theblacklionmanchester.co.uk/ Image
