It served Bodingtons, was big enough to accommodate family gatherings as well as impromptu events and had the Buzz.
So that pretty much covered everybody from the houses behind the pub to those who wandered over from the centre of Chorlton and to the adventurous who travelled here for the comedy and music.
It was one of those big old Manchester pubs which will hold fond memories for many.
And then it closed in the April of 2011. Rumours have continued to circulate about a future use and now I hear it may become a restaurant which may just work given that there will be a metro stop close by.
In the meantime here is Peter’s painting which shows the place off at its best.
