Star Inn, 8 Bentinck Street, Hulme

A typical end of terrace pub, the Star Inn opened in 1866 at the junction of Cawdor Street and Bentinck Street, just off Chester Road in the northern-most part of Hulme.  At the time of closure, it was a Scottish Brewers or McEwan's house. By 1967 the area had been subject to wholesale clearances, the streets of terrace housing swept away, leaving the Star Inn in splendid isolation. After the old Star Inn was finally demolished in 1974, a new Star Inn pub was built on the same site in 1975 by Scottish Brewers but it too was demolished in the 1990s.
