Hellfire Club Queens Road, Manchester
« on: Tuesday 13 August 13 06:18 BST (UK) »
There's a theme restaurant/pub on the corner of Queens Road & Hendham Vale Manchester currently known as the Hellfire Club.  Does anyone know the history of the establishment and what it may have been called in the 1880s?  Can anyone suggest how I find out the landlord's name in 1886? (Assuming that the property was around then)

Thank you

Wilbs

Hello,

It was called The Junction at some point.

The address seems to have been 1- 5 Hendham Vale and in 1881, Job Page and his family were there.  https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/XQ8X-L96
Does this help?

Regards
Heywood

Hi

It used to be the "Junction Hotel" - Photographed 1966

1972 - Gives it's official address as:
http://www.london-gazette.co.uk/issues/45677/pages/6212/page.pdf
Junction Hotel, Queens Road, 1-5 Hendham Vale, Harpurhey, Manchester

The building housing the "Junction Hotel" was there as early as 1906 - this photograph shows the side of the building as it turns into Hendon Vale (compare to the 1966 Photo)

The Page family were still there in 1891 3250/62/40

The name of the pub is difficult to read but looks like 'Junction Hotel'

That's good. I could see Junction but 'hotel' is not as clear.
I drive past it regularly and didn't realise it is a restaurant  ::)

Some interesting reviews about  it - and an interesting history on the "Hellfire Clubs"  ;D
 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hellfire_Club
".....name for several exclusive clubs for high society rakes established in Britain and Ireland in the 18th century...."

What do you reckon about Hotel name 1871 - the enumerator has a script style all his own, I  think it's a  rendering of "Junction" - Job Page is there at 1 Hendham Vale.
RG10 / Piece 4055 / Folio 47 / Page 23

In 1861 Job was in Crumpsall at the Horse Shoe Inn.

Yes, I saw the reviews  ;)

1871 - Junction Hotel and in 1861 it looks as though Martha is the licensee and he is a porter.
