Photograph submitted by Marguerite Isherwood. Thought to have been taken by Jim Isherwood. Sorry about the quality but this photograph, along with 5 more(see others I have put on the site) I spent a couple of hours last night "cleaning up" only for the file to have been deleted by mistake.
No doubt someone will know which pub this is.

Thanks for posting - it has revived a long distance but clear memory of being in the butcher's shop with my grandmother as customers around 1948, I'm sure I can remember seeing the fresh tripe on a tray, perhaps it's just my fanciful imagination.

Its a good job some people had the foresight to take these pictures as memories can play tricks. Opposite side of this pub was the good old Scholes picture house...I think, perhaps a little bit further down where now the posh new houses/flats are.
