Blue plaque on the Boundary Street side of Image CHARLOTTE BRONTË (1816-1855) In 1846 The Revd. Patrick Bronte came to Manchester for a cataract operation accompanied by his daughter Charlotte. They took lodgings at 59 Boundary Street West (formerly known as 83 Mount Pleasant). It was here that Charlotte began to write her first successful novel Jane Eyre 2005

On the corner of Boundary Street. Victorian or Edwardian, glazed tiles below, brick above. When I studied maths at the University of Manchester in 1985-88, this was the mathematicians' pub or so we were told. We had to calculate our own bills and sit on chairs based on conic sections (or that could have been poor workmanship). It was then slightly isolated among empty patches of grass, all of which have since been built on by the university.

The Salutation public house.

The Salutation, known as "Sal" to regulars, is shown on old maps to have stood at the corner Boundary Street and Higher Chatham Street from at least as early as 1844. It is thought to be one of only two pubs in Manchester to have retained its 1840s decor. The Sal was saved from closure when it was bought by Manchester Metropolitan University in 2011. At the time, a spokesman for MMU said "The Salutation Pub is a local landmark which has been a popular haunt of Manchester Met staff and students over many years. Buying a pub is a bit out of the ordinary but represents a strategic acquisition for the university – surrounded by land which we either own or occupy" (http://www.manchestersfinest.com/articles/save-the-sal/ Manchester's Finest). Originally it was Hardy's house, later a Tetley's house and was owned by Punch Taverns prior to the University takeover. Pub website: https://thesalutationpub.com/about/
