This Pub is Permanently Closed

Demolished 1/8/2017 after many years being closed and near-derelict. Site now being used for vehicle storage. Closed 1/6/2008 with its future uncertain. Planning Application 108345/FO/2015/N2 | Demolition of former Kings Head public house, retention of existing 2.4m high palisade fencing and gates and installation of 2.4m high palisade fencing and gates. Granted 3/9/2015.

History: was a large two-room house set by the railway viaduct that lead into Manchester Piccadilly. Very popular when nearby Devonshire Street had plenty of people working there, especially at the former Great Universal Stores complex. That trade diminished in early 2000, then the pub inevitably succumbed to that loss too.
