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).

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.
