Jury's Inn - Great Bridgewater Street



The Jury's Inn hotel on Great Bridgewater Street sits between Evershed House and The Briton's Protection pub on the west side of the street across from the Bridgewater Hall. 



It occupies a site that, when I was a child, was part of the Lower Mosley Street Bus Station.  The main bus station was across the street but the site of the Jury's Inn, indicated by an arrow on the aerial photograph below (dated 1953), was used as a parking space for express buses.





The Havelock Mill was on one side of this parking area.  On the other side was a small building used as a cafe.  It can be seen in the image below looking from the main bus station across Great Bridgewate Street.  The image is shown with the permission of Christopher Leach (from his Busworld Photography Blogspot)



In the mid 19th Century  a timber yard occupied the site of the cafe and the express bus parking site was empty.
