After a trip to http://www.pubsgalore.co.uk/areas/sa...er-manchester/ to meet my new employers on the way home I saw a boarded pub The Albert Vaults , I had spotted a couple one being The Crown Hotel close by between hotel I stayed at and the office but thought little of it as looked older conversions.

Interested to see if it was closed I searched and to my amasement saw nearly all the pubs in this area shut. Is this the worst decimation of pubs out there in anyone area?

Guess with Manchester City Centre on it's doorstep that this may be a reason why so many pubs lost as nobody thinks of Salford as a place really in city Centre terms.
