IMAGES TAKEN NEAR TO
Wood Street, MANCHESTER, M11 2FB

Between Parkhouse Street and Ashton Old Road, but it is unlikely that there is any immediate alternative development intended for this area.

The former Queen Anne public house, now a restaurant.

The A635 through Openshaw. The Real Taste Chinese takeaway on the corner was formerly the Queen Anne Image

The Queen Anne public house on Ashton Old Road.

The Queen Anne pub on Ashton Old Road, Openshaw. Research suggests that it was originally called The Lord Wolseley, it re-opened briefly in 2013 after being moth-balled for almost two years and part of the premises are/were used as a "Gentlemen's Club" with an entrance at the rear. It has an image of Queen Anne/Britannia etched on the glass Image and a Chinese bagua diagram above the doorway Image

An etched glass window at the Queen Anne Image The figure looks like Britannia as seen on the reverse of the old 1d coin. There is a theory that the figure of Britannia on 1714 farthings was said to have been based on Queen Anne and is notable for its distinct modesty compared to previous Britannias. Although there is no firm evidence that Anne requested this change, or that the figure of Britannia is based on the Queen, her virtuous and modest personality suggests that she may well have done so. http://blog.royalmint.com/rising-years-queen-anne-making-monarch/

Above the doorway of The Queen Anne Image on Ashton Old Road, Openshaw are a couple of what look like brass Chinese lion door guardians either side of the window at the bottom corners. Above that is a decorative plaque which seems to consist of a Chinese "bagua diagram" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bagua It wasn't there in a 2015 photograph I've viewed elsewhere so must be a relatively new addition. Choose "more sizes" for a more detailed view.

Research suggests that it was originally called The Lord Wolseley, it re-opened briefly in 2013 after being moth-balled for almost two years and part of the premises are/were used as a "Gentlemen's Club" with an entrance at the rear. The premises appear to have been occupied by Yens Limited, a now dissolved company who appear to have wholesalers of clothing and footwear and also shop-fitters. Update (May 2017) It is now listed as the address for a company called Good Clicks Ltd. Note: Photograph is for record purposes only. The photograph has no connection with businesses depicted.
