A crumbling former pub building stands as a lonely relic of a lost estate, demolished just 20-years after it was built.
The Gamecock pub on the corner of Booth Street West and Boundary Lane in Hulme looks like many estate pubs. Its high slanted roof is perhaps the only feature that distinguishes it from the concrete conformity of other 1970s flat-roofed pubs of its ilk.
That and the fact that it's still standing, having never been repurposed. Its only function has been to serve the estate that came crashing down around it some 30-years ago.
