Now I wonder how history will treat the Throstle’s Nest on Seymour Grove.
There will be many who have fond memories of the place and others who would rather draw a veil over the night when it just seemed a good idea to treble up the drinks at last orders having already drunk the night away to the strains of Fleetwood Mac and a series of stories from Ken from Dispatch.
All of that said it is another of Andy Robertson’s projects, and having visited it a few times since it shut up shop yesterday he was back recording the first signs of movement with three pictures, commenting on “the very slow and slightly unsure progress of the 'Nest.
You can now see the new flooring layout.
It will be interesting to see what happens to the existing windows and where new ones might go?”
Well there is an application in for the “erection of a pitched roof to existing two storey flat roof, including an increase in the height of the eaves.”*
Andy I know did some research on the building and that excellent site Manchester Pubs has written"this once-popular local's boozer on the Old Trafford - Whalley Range border closed down in 2010. The Throstles Nest was also a match day boozer for Man Utd fans but despite this it has gone the way of so many inner city alehouses." With one of its contributors adding that it opened in 1968.**
All of which will just leave Andy to go back and see how things are developing.
