We mentioned last month the The Crescent pub in Salford was showing signs of possibly reopening with the news that contractors had moved into the building and were clearing out the inside, and a 10 foot safety fence to keep out vandals etc
Today our good friend Dave Quinn was passing and saw scaffolding being erected at the front of the pub, he asked the workmen if the pub was to be demolished and was told that it wasn't however they weren't certain it was to reopen as a pub... so what could it be?
My guess is that if it's not to reopen as a pub, which would be a crying shame given the pubs history and no I don't mean that old hoary chestnut about Marx and Engels boozing in there, a load of old tosh, it may be prestigious office space.
It is still early days so we can only guess at what the outcome will be and if it is to be offices, well at least that is preferable to the fate of the Black Horse pub which stood a hundred yards away and despite huge protests was demolished to make way or the erection of 400 apartments in 2017, cheers Fred Done!
So watch this space and lets see what transpires.
Many thanks to a proper Salford Boy, Dave Quinn for the photos and keeping us updated.
