Landmark Manchester pub to be demolished TODAY after blaze ripped through building
A landmark south Manchester pub known for its iconic Lemn Sissay poem painted on the wall is set to be demolished TODAY. It comes after a fire tore through the derelict building earlier this week.
The owner of the iconic pub told the Manchester Evening News he had tried 'as hard as we can' to make the site safe, adding he was 'very upset' by the demolition.In 2015, Rusholme & Fallowfield Civic Society successfully applied for the 200 year-old building, named after Hardy’s, the Hulme-based Crown Brewery, to be listed as an Asset of Community Value.
In April 2019, plans to extend the landmark building, which features Lemn Sissay's famous poetry mural, into 35 flats and eight shops were submitted for approval. However, the plans were withdrawn in 2021 and it is understood that no work has taken place on the site since.
