Six years after closing a start is made on plans to re-open historic pub
It was six years ago that it closed. During that time the fabric of the Grade II listed building has detoriated badly. The fading green facade is graffiti covered, the roof badly damaged, and windows boarded up.
The landmark closed in 2017 and is in a poor state. There were fears it would go the same way as the nearby Black Horse Hotel and be demolished to make way for apartments. "In the meantime we are to carry out essential repairs on the building, which do not need listed building consent, so it is watertight, including a new roof. The scaffolding will be up for 18 months. The intention is to return to pub to a traditional style - it had become a 1990s-style student pub.
He added: "There is a possibility that the new building could be an apart hotel and we have held talks with the Vice Chancellor of the University of Salford. If a lecturer, for example required accommodation for a short period, they might use it. " The spokesman for the owners said: "We believe our plans will fit with the council's masterplan. We are now down to fine details in discussions - like the type of brick to be used on the new building.
