'The Windsor' theatre - it used to be anyway!
Who remembers Len Fairclough in Coronation St? If you do this is one of the theatres in which his actor started his career. In my childhood it was 'The Windsor' theatre. In my youth, 'The Windsor' or Bearwood Ice Rink. Now it's a Snooker Centre; how times change.

The Bear Tavern in Bearwood
A landmark building in the middle of Bearwood; a sign on the wall suggests that the name doesn't necessarily come from "wood with bears" but more likely the Old English words 'bearu' and 'wudu', meaning Grove Wood; this would have been a place of pig grazing in the Middle Ages. That doesn't preclude the survival of bears in the area at least until Roman times, as the area was densely forested at that time.
