Help with finding post code

[Al 10000]

I am looking for the post code of a pub that i think has been demolished.

The pub in question is the Longsight this was a modern Banks's pub and i think it was on the corner of kirkmanshulme lane and scarcroft road in the longsight area of Manchester.

I have tried post code finder but had no luck there.

Thanks Alan

Al,

try looking through this list:

http://manchesterhistory.net/LONGSIGHT/PUBS/pubs.html

The postcode will be somewhere in the region of M12 4xx , possibly M12 4UH

Maybe somewhere near M12 4TF, there's a demolition site opposite the leisure centre which may have been a pub or part of the Belle Vue Pleasure Gardens etc. I think the leisure centre is built on the site of the dog track.

This (http://manchesterhistory.net/LONGSIGHT/PUBS/pubs.html) is a cracking website on the pubs of the area, go back a stage to here (http://manchesterhistory.net/LONGSIGHT/homeopen.html) for the fascinating history of the area. ROBCamra might like the Rochdale page (http://manchesterhistory.net/rochdale/homepage.html).

Sorry Andy, ships that passed in the night!

No probs, OB. We were probably looking for the answer at the same time as each other!

I've seen it before (sorry) and was struck about how wrong or omitted a lot of it is. :(

No mention of Bill Oddie, Andy Kershaw, Liz Kershaw, Ray Hatton etc who were all born here.
