Lancashire / Re: Moss Rose/The Post Office Hotel Stockport
« on: Tuesday 19 February 13 19:31 GMT (UK) »Hi Jeanie,
I can’t help you with the Post Office Hotel it was in Hulme, Manchester not Stockport.
I have found a little bit of info regarding the Moss Rose, Travis Brow.
It was a beer house in 1853 and closed in 1971. It was thought to be a venue for gardeners from the nearby Moss Rose Lodge. When it closed in 1971 the licence was transferred to the Moss Rose in Didsbury.
I haven’t been up that way in years and can’t swear to it but I seem to remember that most of the buildings on Travis Brow were demolished when the Motorway was being built.
There is a photograph of the pub taken in 1971 advertising Hydes Beer and you can find it on the Stockport Images Archive website just put Travis Brow in the search box.

As Hydes Brewery are still in existence and presumably have archives it might be worth your while contacting them.

Hi Pat
Thank you so much for taking the time to reply with this info. I will get in touch with the brewery and see if they can help. Will let you know. I looked up the picture of The Moss Rose pub and have ordered a copy.
thanks again
