Now Parsonage Lane really is one of those little side streets which grows wider as you follow it down from Deansgate to Parsonasge.
It was there by 1793 and was already fronted by a selection of properties.
Fast forward half a century and these included a textile factory, the Admiral Hatchlock which also went under the name of Parsonage House, five other properties and the entrance to a closed court.
A search for Admiral Hatchlock drew a blank although I do know that our textile factory had by 1851 become Charlton & Sons Calendar Works which by 1900 had expanded across the road.
Today the original site of the textile factory is a big red office and retail block which is home to the Liquor Store.
And that is the close you will get a to buying a drink on Parsonage Lane because our pub which was still there in 1900 has long gone.
