Royal Livery Stables in Hulme, Manchester

Fantastic! That fits perfectly.  It appears most of the assets were switched to my gg'father, SS Grange in 1911.  Ed died in 1915.  So, the pub evidently sold in 1916. 

So now you and Molly figured it out for me.  Ed dies in 1915, Pub sold 1916, Annie dies 1931 or so and The Hollies = personal residence= sold at auction around 1933.  Then SSG and his son, Paul, come over in 1934, but uncertain what is left to dispose of.  Samuel Skaife Grange owned property in Yorkshire, where he was from, so maybe some of that was left to take care of.
Thank you again.  If you need anything from USA, let me know.  hinshaw77a@gmail.com

Unfortunately most are at the west end of street, or facing the south side, but they give a flavour of the district.  Nothing for Clopton Street.

Added: I don't think these addresses work directly.
Put the street address in "Any text" and category "Photo"

The Tourist Historian has quite a few pictures on his facebook site and instagram.  Very interesting.

I recall reading about the pub last year - have driven and walked past it on many occasions. Hopefully Gary Neville and his wrecking ball have nothing to do with its regeneration.

A historic pub in Hulme will be brought back to its former glory and become a social hub for music and culture again after a regeneration scheme has been approved.

Junction Hotel on Rolls Crescent will be brought back into use as a community hub following its closure in 2016 and be joined by a four-storey apartment block next door. The block, which will contain 24 one and two-bed apartments, will also have commercial space on the bottom floor.

The hotel itself, thought to date back to around 1865, would be restored under the scheme and extended with two apartments on both the first and second floors.

Thanks Barbara for sharing that.
I have read some of that.
The pub has always been an area of interest in our family.  My cousins and I remember hearing our great uncle talk about it.  He spent about a year and a half in Manchester when he was about 15. He mentioned that people would drop change when in the pub and not bend over to pick it up, but he said he wasn't too proud to bend over and pick it up!

I meant to include that in the 1901 census for the Grand Junction Inn there is:

Edwin Grange, nephew, 14, scholar, born USA

Hi Alan, Yep, that's my great uncle, Edwin, or Uncle Ted, as we called him.  I wish I had heard more of the stories he had from his time in Manchester.

Also, it finally occurred to me, that possibly the area we now know as Royal Livery Stables started out as a bare lot or lots and then the name finally became to be a while after. Does that make sense?
