I lived at the Whalley between 1975 & 1977 with my family, as my father (Terry Sweeney) was the publican. *
It was very grandiose but was at the junction of what were, at the time, three very depressed neighbourhoods - hulme, moss side & Whalley Range,
I worked the 5.30 til 8.00 pm, behind the bar it the Vault (men only) or occasionally in the main bar that serviced 3 very large rooms - each room frequented by different communities.
The pub had a Crown Green Bowling Green too that was sold off before the main pub.
A lively & challenging pub to run in the 70s!
