Former pub, Middleton Old Road, Manchester
The old New White Lion.
It has been rotting for some years and has a hole in the roof which is always a very bad sign.

The New White Lion, Blackley, Manchester
This "new" pub has been closed for years and stands on Middleton Old Road. Last year I noticed a plaque on it (see other photo) which claims "Dick Turpin the Highwayman slept here."
This seemed unlikely so I turned to Mr. Google. Whilst clicking around I found a local history blog where someone says that this plaque was placed there as a joke by a local car dealer in the late 80s or early 90s. Apparently, when the landlord of the pub was on holiday his mate Richard Turpin would look after it for him!

St Peter's Church, Blackley
The east face of the church, dominated by the east window. Photographed from Lion Brow.
The present St Peter’s Church was opened in 1844 and enlarged in 1880, although there have been at least two previous churches on the site dating back to 1547 (or possibly even earlier) The boxed pews inside the church were taken from the 1736 building, but it is possible that they may be 16th century in origin.
There are two principal entrances to the Church, the main one on the western side of the tower and the other one on the south side of the nave, facing Old Market Street and allowing easy access to the stairs leading up to the tower. The tower still has the old original bells in position. The tower also houses the four-face village clock.
The church is a Grade II Listed Building
http://www.stpeter-blackley.org.uk The church web site has a detailed leaflet about the history and architecture of the church.
