A bit of History

 

The Crown and Kettle is a Grade 2 listed pub in the Ancoats area of Manchester. It is located on the corner of Oldham Road and Great Ancoats Street The Campaign for real ale considers it a "pub with outstanding conversion or restoration." 

 

The pub was originally opened around 1800 in a Gothic style with traceried  windows and was previously known as the 'Iron Dish & Cob of Coal'. There are records of a building being in this location since as early as 1734, with it at one time serving as a courthouse 

 

The mahogany panelling originally installed within the small snug is claimed to have been sourced from one of a pair of British rigid airships  R101 

 

On 2 October 1974, the Crown and Kettle became a Grade II listed building. 

 

In 1989, the pub was closed by Manchester city council following a fire which damaged half of the interior. It reopened in 2005 following restoration work with Historic England including to the plaster ceiling which was restored in one bar and left in an unrestored state in the other. The stone columns that are still present used to hold chandeliers hanging from c. The interioeiling roses was refurbished again in 2020. 

 

In 2023, the Crown and Kettle was recognised as one of the best pubs in the north west when it was named as a county winner in the National Pub & Bar Awards.
