The New Cross Inn, Swinton Hall Road, Swinton, Manchester.
I feel I should also mention Halligans a great little pub in Swinton Hall Road, where many an hour would be spent singing away whilst some one played the piano.
The pub was nicknamed Halligans after Robert Halligan the landlord in 1933.
My parents spent time running Halligans when Robert was on holiday.
The pub was origanally one of 15 cottages called Mount Pleasant, where my great Grandfather used to live.
In the late 1970's the pub was made open plan, this opened up the snug and the concert room.
Halligans was a well known and loved little pub, where they still served hand pumped beer during 1980's.
Sadly, it was demolished a few years ago.
Now a block of flats stand on its land.
