Lost one-offs. Cyprus Tavern, Princess Street, Manchester. A Manchester institution opened in 1967 by Takis Kitromilides, brother of Denos. In the '70s and '80s it was a late-night music and drinking venue for locals, students and football lads. Later the Granby before closure.

Lost one-offs. Blue Boar Hotel, Blue Boar Court, Manchester. Succumbing to a combination of WWII and the Arndale Centre, the Blue Boar was hemmed in amongst the lost heart of old Manchester, which once resembled the Shambles of York, as photographed in late 1890s and early 1900s.
