| When this photograph taken in
1877, The Rovers Return, Shudehill was said to be the oldest beerhouse in
England. As licensee, John Lister was allowed to sell beer and wine for
consumption on and off the premises |
Looking down Shudehill towards
Withy Grove, the exact spot where the Rovers Return stood is not known.
The premises do not appear on any of our maps. However, even numbered
premises are now on the right of the photograph |
