There is a pub called The Oxford currently on Oxford Road (not Street) about 25 mins walk from Grand Central. I don't know how long that has been there though.

The surrounding buildings in the photos you sent don't seem to match up with what is currently around Grand Central, but I'll look into this, thanks!! ..... edit: just looked into this, I know it was called the Beef and Barley in 1970, so therefore I doubt it would have reverted back to its previous name, to then be demolished. Nice work, but don't think the photos match!

P.S, seeing as I have some names of people who were here, how can I look into their family & find out more about them? All ancestry websites want me to pay

Tis the way of the world, you wouldn't expect people to walk in to the pub and drink your beer for free now would you ( unless you are me  ) but if you give us some names to work with we will try and find out what we can on them. That is as long as there are dead, not allowed to post anything on living people unless any one has the name and address of theperson who robed my sons home while he was away , well best not say what i would call them  on here wise i get banned

I was going to look into the names you gave me in one of your previous posts!
You are definitely welcome to a pint on me I take it though that you are not living anywhere close!!!
Grrr this is sooo frustrating, I feel like I'm making such slow progress!

Have you tried phoning Greater Manchester county records office to see if they have anything listed for the pub , the same for Manchester library ( up the street from you ) and the John Rylands library on deansgate?

I've got trips to the library planned, very excited about it!

A previous manager just told me that 'The building was 3 houses and got knocked into 1 building sometime after the war' so maybe it was The Oxford that's in the photos?!

Is this the pub in front of The Salisbury? I worked as a barmaid there in 1977/78 when a student at the then Mcr Poly. Oh happy days!!! I am sure the pub in front was called the Beef and Barley.
According to the landlord then, the Salisbury was also haunted.
cheers
