Firefighters were called to Wythenshawe this evening to a derelict pub fire. A portion of Portway was closed from 5pm on Monday (June 20).
Crews were scrambled to the Happy Man pub on Portway, which closed down for good some years ago. It’s thought the pub was on fire for around an hour and a half.
Photos from the scene taken by the Manchester Evening News after emergency workers left the area show a large puddle of water around the building. Numerous windows of the pub have also been smashed.
