A landmark south Manchester pub known for its iconic Lemn Sissay poem painted on the wall is set to be demolished TODAY. It comes after a fire tore through the derelict building earlier this week.
Fire crews were called to Hardy's Well pub on the corner of Wilmslow Road and Dickenson Road at around 11.45pm on Wednesday (May 24). Firefighters worked to make the site safe but the owners of the beloved building say the situation is 'out of their control'.
The owner of the iconic pub told the Manchester Evening News he had tried 'as hard as we can' to make the site safe, adding he was 'very upset' by the demolition.
