The Gamecock
The pub opened in 1974 as a Wilson's House but soon changed to Watney's. It stands in the shadow of some of Hulme's surviving flats on the corner of Boundary Lane and Booth Street West. Having stood empty for a long time it seemed quite likely to be demolished to make room for yet more student accommodation. http://pubs-of-manchester.blogspot.co.uk/2011/06/gamecock-boundary-lane.html
In 1993 it was a Belhaven Brewery tied house. http://www.closedpubs.co.uk/lancashire/manchester_m15_gamecock.html but by the time of its closure it was Tetley's house. http://manchesterhistory.net/manchester/pubs/gamecock.html
An application for student accommodation on the site was turned down in 2012 on the grounds that the development would be out of scale with the two-storey residential houses nearby, would block out sunlight and there was also a lack of adequate parking. http://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/greater-manchester-news/application-to-build-giant-block-of-students-693402

The Gamecock, Boundary Lane, Manchester
Probably a former estate pub, not especially interesting to the casual observer, but possessing a certain nostalgia value for me and so I'm sorry to see it fall on hard times. While a student in Manchester living in a nearby hall of residence, Cornbrook House, a few of us made this pub a reasonably regular haunt. We would often play darts. This was in 1987/88 and people would have you believe that in the bad old days of Hulme, before the crescents were pulled down, it wouldn't have been possible for a group of students to enter a locals' pub like this and emerge with their limbs intact. However, there was never a sniff of trouble.
