Information needed on two Manchester pubs photo

[curlywurly]

Hi!

I'm hoping that someone may be able to help me. I was given an old family photo album, which included the photo's below. I would be very interested to know any information anybody may be able to give me about them, as I have no information about them at all or any possible ideas of what the groups of people are there for.

Alexandra Park Hotel





Thank you for taking the time to look att these. Any help is very much appreciated

Hello Curlywurly,

Both photos show what I think must be the Brewery connected with the pub, which might help you find more information.

The first is Wilsons Brewery (you can see a sign in the window) and the second is Kays Atlas Brewery.

This website has some pictures of old Manchester pubs, but unfortunately not many of the actual frontages of them.  http://www.breweryhistory.com/Defunct/Manchester.htm

A newer  photo of the Alexandra can be seen here

One of the Moss Side Rootschatters may know if it is still up

even better type Inns, Alexandra Park into the search engine on the images site

Thank you so much for your help!  I will go and have a look at those sites now and see if I can gather any information

1913 Alexandra public house/Hotel was at 227 Moss lane east. Moss side.  Run by a Mr George Burgess & Harry Milner Kennedy by 1929.

MIGKY has come up with the Alexandra Hotel which was on the junction of Moss Lane East and Princess Road (opposite the Harp (previously Newcastle & Scottish)  brewery). It was known locally as the 'Big Alex' and was owned by Threlfall's/Chester's (later Whitbread). It was demolished about 30 years ago I think.

There was also a 'Little Alex' - officially called the 'Alexandra Park Hotel' which was a approx 300/400 yards away, just off Moss Lane at no 3 Alexandra Road. This was certainly a Wilson's house and would seem to be the pub in the photo. In later years it was owned by Vaux, but last time I was round there it was boarded up.
