Ye Old(e) Nelson Pub stands derelict on Chapel Road in Salford. It was built in 1899 and closed in 2004. Despite pledges of new money in the area, Chapel Street has pockets of boarded up properties and pubs interspersed with new flats and some iconic buildings, such as the Salford Cathedral, the Old Town Hall on Bexley Square and the Old Fire station. Linking with ABC Wednesday.
So unique, you sure can't miss it. Hope it can be renovated.
ReplyDeleteThis is so nice!
ReplyDeleteLovely Y choice - what a structure! I hope it stays up and has a chance to be renovated.
ReplyDeleteToo bad for its troubles.

Nice find Chrissy. Often see boarded up pubs like this in cities like Leeds and Hull, bet those walls could tell some tales!
ReplyDeleteGreat to see everyone today.
I did a post about this two years ago at http://ackworthborn.blogspot.co.uk/2010/01/abc-wednesday-y-is-for-ye-old-nelson.html There was a link to a 2009 report that said the building had been saved and would be incorporated into development plans for the area, but the link is now dead. Good to see that at least it's not yet been demolished.
ReplyDeleteHopefully it will be well taken care of. Surely a treasure of a building. Please have a good Thursday.
ReplyDeleteAs Deb said there are more than a few pubs in this sad and neglected state across Leeds.
ReplyDeleteI love old building like that--they have such personality all their own. Great shot.
