The Gamecock
The pub opened in 1974 as a Wilson's House but soon changed to Watney's. It stands in the shadow of some of Hulme's surviving flats on the corner of Boundary Lane and Booth Street West. Having stood empty for a long time it seemed quite likely to be demolished to make room for yet more student accommodation. Link
In 1993 it was a Belhaven Brewery tied house. Link but by the time of its closure it was Tetley's house. Link
An application for student accommodation on the site was turned down in 2012 on the grounds that the development would be out of scale with the two-storey residential houses nearby, would block out sunlight and there was also a lack of adequate parking. Link
