The Bank of England Pub, Pollard Street, Ancoats




As the map below shows, there has been a "Bank of England" public house on the corner of Pollard Street and Carruthers Street since at least 1851.




Here it is again in this map, shown with the permission of Chetham's Library, also dated 1851  .



In July of 2010 the pub is boarded up and in the midst of the construction zone of the new Metrolink tram line growing out from Piccadilly Station towards the City of Manchester Stadium.





As you will gather from the images above the "Bank of England" is closed and it looks particularly beleaguered.
