“True, there were  men who sat in the “best room” of the pub with their wives on a Saturday evening…but such men were not likely to add much to the taproom character. They were too much under the wife’s thumb” (Fomer Mass Observer and local author Bill Naughton, Britain Revisited)

We have not identified this pub interior although it has been suggested that it is the Joiner’s Hotel which stood at 15 Deansgate. If you can help identify it then please leave a comment below.
