The Crown Inn, Stockport rd, Longsight, Manchester.

[Spatts]

Hi fello Lancastrians,

Can anyone help me with the families that lived in the Crown Inn at the above address?

My 2x Grt Grandparents Alfred & Elizabeth Andrew were supposed to have owned it at one stage, got pictures of the Pub/Coach House. My Grt Grandmother was supposed to have been brought up there, Lilly Ann Andrew b1877, Openshaw & died Feb 1961, buried in Droylsden Cem.

Alfred was b1839, Openshaw, Iron Moulder, wife Elizabeth Andrew nee Kershaw b1839, Holligworth Lake, Littleborough, Rochdale.

Lilly Ann Andrew married Harry Walker b1870, at 5 South Witham Bank, Lincoln, Lincs, where the Lincoln Glory Hole is, died in Manchester 1932, married Lilly Ann in 1899 in Chorlton, Manchester.

The Pub/Coach House was opposite the junction of Slade lane on Stockport road.

Any help would be gratefully appreciated,

Spatts.

  Thank you russ,

may be it was later, it wasn't knocked down till 2000, prior to it being knocked down it was changed to a Irish theme pub called the Ceili.

Hi spatts 

1883 directory has the Crown Inn, 597 Stockport Rd Longsight, listed under "Alfred Hargreaves (executors of)", so presumably Mr Hargreaves had died some time just before the directory was published.

... on the other hand...  1879 directory has
"John Hargreaves (executors of)" at the Crown , 597 Stockport Rd

so maybe the presence of 'executors' indicates something other than deceased landlords? Maybe the Hargreaves owned the pub but did not run it themselves?

Can't see the Crown in 1877 or 1876 directories

There was a lot of changing the house numbers back then, I remember trying to locate somewhere on that stretch of road a couple of years ago on RC!
