History
Built in about 1790 and originally a house,[3] it is one of the oldest pubs in Manchester, although it only became a pub in about 1840.[4][5] The pub is owned by Tetley's, a Yorkshire brewery, and contains photographs of former Manchester United players who frequented the pub, including George Best.[6][7]
On 6 June 1994, it was designated as a Grade II listed building.[1][8]
