Back in the 80's when me and my mates used to live in Trinity, we would start at the Bell Tower work our way down Chapel St then cut in to start our Manchester bender at the Mark Addy
I use to work not too far away from The Mark Addy and spent many a lunch time in there. Such a shame it closed down, but I guess it was inevitable being right beside The Irwell where flooding can happen. Thank you for bringing a few memories back.

Oh wow, sad to see this old gem in this state. Spent many a lunchtime in this place, famed for it's cheese and pate platters. It was a proper city slickers place back in the 90's. It was great in the summer on the outdoor bit if not a bit smelly at times due to the Irwell pong.
A really popular pub once upon a time. Well known for ite ploughman lunches, a must place to visit if shopping in Manchester. Bit by bit it went into decline as it standards dropped, and it got swallowed up the growth around it.. Thanks for the video.
@@Brendan-q2j Your welcome mate
Top class video man , proper enjoyed it 👊🏻
Respect Brother nice one man I appreciate it even more from a fellow filmmaker.
@@TheUrbanCollectiveWeFilmIt 👊🏻
Use to go in there in the 90s thinking it was dead posh, I’d buy a drink and have a joint sat outside watching the river and looking at the old buildings along the river bank, only one now remains.
Yeah, I can imagine a few pints n a zoot sat there brother. Even just chilling in one of the arches with the rain trickling.
Wow I worked here in 1989 served cheese and pate
I remember the Mark Addy well, me and my Mrs used to go in there. I wouldn't have called it a restaurant, but they did serve food there ( at one time they even had a cheese counter at the back wall ). You went in at street level and walked down the stairs to the bar/dining area at the bottom. There were doors at the bottom of the stairs leading to the outdoor terrace, and side doors from the bar where you broke in..(Sorry I ,meant sneaked in ). Pleasure boats on the Irwell stopped at the pub and dropped off/picked up punters as part of the trip. The ladies toilets were at the top of the steps as you walked in. You had to collect a key for the toilets from the bar to stop anybody just wandering in off the street to use them.
This is beautiful mate and for Mark Addy and Dj Dave Booth 💞
Thank you brother.
@@TheUrbanCollectiveWeFilmIt ❤🍻
I used to go there quite regularly in the early 80's. You could park in the street near by. Lunchtime food was pretty good.
walked past this place many times over the years and allways wondered what it looked like inside
Thanks good one such a pity. Went in their years ago. Great shame it closed. Nice tribute to a once great venue pal.
Used to booze in here,
Many good night started early afternoon here .
This was opened in about 1980, by Salford Bookmaker, Jim Ramsbottom, who lived ( don’t know if he is still alive!) on Lancaster Road. I covered the opening of this bar and restaurant on opening day, for the Salford City Reporter, as I was the staff photographer! Jim was a millionaire who had the pub built from scratch, after dealing with the ingress of water from the side of the river.
Thanks for your history Colin
l used to love this pub and based my 1st pub on it! Was known for its cheese and wine menu 🧀🍷
And they did a nice pint of Boddingtons bitter👌
Went for a pint there loads of times but Sunday afternoons were always good.
@@daveglynn748 boddingtons was a well respected brewer l had one of the original boddingtons pubs too in my opinion a far batter drink than tetleys or john Smith's 🍺
@@hardrockgin3375 Boddingtons was my favourite beer for a long while and couldn’t believe it when I heard they’d closed the Stangeways brewery down. They used to serve a lovely pint of it in the Grants Arms in Hulme when I was living there and Cox’s Bar facing G.Mex was a good and cheap pint👍🏻
Have been living in Sussex for the past 20 years and don’t get home much now but av great memories of that fine golden bitter👌. What pub did you have?
I have had a couple of pints b4 an explore 🤣🤣💪👍
Thanks Clarky, brilliant editing as always......Love seeing my home town :) much love from NZ x
Thanks again karen glad you enjoyed it did you ever drink here?
We have plenty of Mcr content coming up too!
@@TheUrbanCollectiveWeFilmIt Hi Clarky, no I never really drank much in the city, mainly stuck to local places....Ashton, Denton, Hyde, Stalybridge etc.....Looking forward to more Manchester content though.... xx
these edits are proper sentimental lol nicely done
Thank you flower
I loved going to this pub. You’ve brought back happy memories. So sad to see it in this state.
Glad to hear that m8 thanks for watching.
Thanks for some top memories Clarky👌 Seeing the ladies toilets was mad! powdered my nose in there a few times! 😆 Beautifully done...respect 🙌 🐝
Yeah Yeah we all know you had a big shtinking log in there but Iwont tell if you dont lol ;)
@@TheUrbanCollectiveWeFilmIt lmao!!!! promise?? 😁 why does that toilet scene in trainspotting come to mind?!! 🤔🤢🤮 nasty! Have a great day Clarky 😀
there was a college across the river called MANCAT, presumably also gone now
Cheers for the history m8.
I believe Clarky it never reopened after flooding due to the fact they couldn't get insured...
Yeah, highly likely m8 to be honest but surely the river had flooded in the past?
@@TheUrbanCollectiveWeFilmIt I know it happened at least twice mate...
They did good beer and cracking food, you got half a whole wheat cob, butter and about a pound of cheese or pate, that you could choose. They gave you pickles and a bag to take home what you couldn't eat. A great start to a night out! Loved it! 90s.
another great write up and video keep those classics rollin
Thank you very much m8.
Great video. Loved this place, love the dedication at the start to the legend Dave Booth. Miss that guy so much, had some cracking nights in here dancing to Dave’s tunes.
Cheers m8 Im glad you found and enjoyed the film. Much appreciated!
Was classed as posh in the 80’s. Bouncers at street level entrance
Sad to see it in that state. I spent many a Sunday in there in the ‘80s, on a diet of beer and their famous great hunks of bread, cheese and pâté. Managed to visit again shortly before it flooded, when it had turned into an upmarket gastropub with some really interesting local produce on the menu. I believe they’d renovated it once after the first flood, but couldn’t get insurance any more, so couldn’t afford to patch it up again when it flooded a second time.
Strong feelings for a venue now gone, changing city and culture etc, but also about how this is the quality of space that some of our city's homeless are pushed to inhabit :(
Yeah sad eh m8. Especially when there are hundreds like it including entire housing estates derelict...
All there is 2 c is very muches Clarky! Well done again massively 👏 👏
Manchester pub? This pub is actually on the Salford side of the river Irwell.
I did visit the Mark Addy during my college days what is now Salford University.
I also used to pop into the pub directly under the viaduct where I believe the Bulls Head or was it the Bears Paw was situated right next to the Mark Addy, (I will stand corrected if I have the pubs name wrong) it was here I first met Georgie Best and would meet him for a pint on a regular weekly get together, not being a football fan I think it was somewhat of a relief for him not having to talk about football ha!
Smashing lad...
Quality bit history there m8 thanks for sharing.
Nice one Clarky. Went in there many times. I now have proof as my son and me are in the video watching Arsenal v Man U. Really took me by surprise to see that. So sad to see it in that state though. Keep up the great work mate. Cheers
Thank you brother and fancy that eh its a small world man. Take care pal.
Walked past this place yesterday, I wondered then what the place might look like now. Yeah your right mate, I remember it when it happened, the flooding caused a right mess to it. Great video as usual boys.
Thqnk you for watching m8 Im glad we cured the curiosity.
Top video this clarky another nostalgic shame to what was once a cracking place for people to visit and laugh
good lord! I grew up in this place! Legendary for its cheese selection back in the day..! Thanks for sharing. Brings back happy memories :D
Glad you enjoyed it m8.
I tried to get in here yesterday looks completely blocked off now
Me and me mates used to end up there on a crawl from Chapel Street.. The was a barge that used to drop fans off from Old Trafford after the game,and we would wait and watch for someone to fall in as they were disembarking...
Lol, quality was that so you could follow in addy's footsteps or piss your self laughing and point lol!
@@TheUrbanCollectiveWeFilmIt Am no Mark Addy mate... I spit me beer out laughing..
This is class again wish I had found your stuff sooner.....my only disappointmemt is am gonna run out of stuff to watch......I can't praise you enough clarky your a top guy kid
Thank you m8 I really appreciate it man and there's plenty more to come to.
And hang on a minute how many have you watched already lol?
It's mad because I often get people commenting saying they binge-watch my videos and that how I really try to design them so they are engaging throughout and rewatchable. Yes, there's been a few clangers but all in all, I'm happy with em
...ish lol
@@TheUrbanCollectiveWeFilmIt a lot mate I've gone right back...only just had a notification for this sorry
Went here today. Video up later
There used to be a plaque outside the pub saying it was officially opened in 1981 by none other than Bernard Yeouns who played Stan Ogden in CORONATION STREET years ago,
Quality I wouldnever have known cheers m8.
The bridge named after the fella is just after the bottom of my street opposite the Brickies.. crossed over it many times to go fishing...
No way man mint Il bear that mind cheers.
Great video, love the background music, good delivery
Thanks sledge much appreciated man.
Great video.... My dad is from Worsley, and his stories of Manchester city center in the 60's are legend to me.....only ever been when I was small...but want to see more...
Love the videos 👍👍
Cheers m8 if you know Worsley check out my AAOR bunker video m8 ;)
@@TheUrbanCollectiveWeFilmIt thank you mate....will do that definitely.....my pal who I work with is originally from Chorlton.... He's been watching them with me....
Loving the content 👍👍👍
Thanks so much 🙏
@@acerimmer1023 Pleasure m8.
Times change, shame the venue's been left to rot away. Good video & great to see Chris & Smug at the beginning launching the comedy club. Being a Salford girl I'm proud of the history. Nice RIP to Dave Booth too x
Thank you Dawn I appreciate you m8.
There also used to be an old school Harry Ramsden's down the road from there, which was ace, old building classic decor, piano etc. Such a shame that went too, the Brand has now virtually been destroyed from within...
Yeah I can't remember the last time I saw one of them m8
Absolutely brilliant really enjoyed it.Great music & footage was top notch. Sometimes I have 3 pints and feel tipsy but not often enough. 😁
Lol twas the heat.
I've been there haha. Back in 2016-2017
Spot on production mate, I’m always left wondering when looking at old buildings in our beautiful Manchester City, at times it’s quite sad, holding a lot of memories of how it use to be, but love this channel, keep up the good work Clarky
Cheers Dave really appreciate that m8.
Had loads of sessions in eer, just before it closed it went well up market. Well known chef’s specialty was tripe.
Eew
Drank in there back in the day usually the first port of call after getting off the bus on Chapel street and cutting through to town. The building you point out on the opposite bank is the people's history museum ... worth a visit if you're in town.
Yeah cheers m8 Ive actually been in there in the past I just didnt realise at the time. Thanks for your history m8.
Great video Clarky I heard the Mark Addy was a great place to go back in the Day. The last time I was back home in 2005 was going to go with my cousin but never got the chance to such a shame to see it in that state to bad nobody wanted to invest any money to fix it up but I understand why they didn't coz of by chance of ever flooding again.
Yeah thats it pal nobody will touch it now m8
That was a full view Clarky. I had it lined up the other day. What I saw was a dream that had folded. It reminded me of how many start and don't make it for whatever reason. The worlds always in flux. Buildings never really die. If it's not squatters it's animals and birds. It is in a state mind. Thanks for sharing - I wasn't to fond of the view. perhaps it was that and not just the river. Mark
I hear you Mark and thank you for watching and yeah I also saw some broken dreams.
@@TheUrbanCollectiveWeFilmIt A pleasure. I got some more lined up for the week. Yeah, it doesn't surprise me that you saw that to.
Brilliant mate I remember this place well nearly spiked myself haha keep safe brother see you soon
Thank you brother.
These are seriously good vlogs guys...i don't live in Salford but its great to see use are capturing history of a great place
Thabk you Steven I appreciate that m8.
Clarky
My only criticism is use support uniteed haha but honest guys jokes aside these are brilliant thanks for sharing 👍
Great vid and commentary - it was a nice bar quite unique and nice atmosphere - sometimes stunk bad tho thanks to the river 😀
Lol I can imagine. Thanks for watching m8 and for the feedback!
Quality, as always
Thank you Mr D
dont know how you did that mate im scared to death of rats, and that place was riddled when it was open haha
Pfffft I’m saying nowt pal
It is in a sorry state, such a shame. Never went in there, wish I had though, on a good day would of been great sat out there, great video and good to see the Urban Legend with you. Nice touch for DJ Dave Booth I didn't know him but do know he was well respected

Mark Addy buried in Weaste cemetery his grave stone is listed..
Thank you, Jo, and yeah I do know about the grave so I'm saving that for a future vid ;). I never knew the DJ either but have heard some good things and it's about the people who know it not me. Anyway thanks again for watching m8. Tk Care.
@@TheUrbanCollectiveWeFilmIt 👍Weaste Cemetery is such a peaceful place would make a good short video, some good Salford history in there will look forward to watching that..
@@johorrocks8927 Oh we're going one better than that Jo ;)
Really enjoyed that mint👍
Thank yoy Kay much appreciated m8.
See you there 😉👍
Ooh Yes!
Mega man , good vid of u and legend
Cheers Richie much appreciated pal.
Epic thank you for the spider webs and not me
Pmsl I don't mind them I can even pick them up but when you can see them it's a little unnerving lol!
I've never been to the mark addy but Ive heard people talking bout the sticky carpets of the spilt lagers lol
PMSL You wanna try the Egerton then lol!
@@TheUrbanCollectiveWeFilmIt is that the one near worsley
thomas tierney No, centre of town, that’s Spinningfields over the river
@@bcegerton ahhh right no worries
Mint
Top video, I’m always passing there going into town for some Street Photography, I was there on Friday and be back on Thursday. Where that pulley thing was on the old building is part of The People’s History Museum, that artwork of Mark Addy should be taken down and put in that museum as it’s only painted on wood if I remember rightly. You did get a lot of homeless staying down there as it’s so overgrown that no one can see them but there’s so much security with all these posh “Apartments” ( flats ) but if you go through Spinningfields there’s a lot seemed to have closed since COVID19.
Love the channel Jake, love seeing all these places being a local lad, or was as I now live in Horwich but originally from Miles Platting then Openshaw.
P.S, yes those arches are original
Haha, quality Brian thanks for the comment pal I really do appreciate your viewership. I've got my eye on a few places in town now m8 maybe Il see you out there too eh.
And you have to give us a link to your photography m8.
Take care.
The Urban Collective You can find some at instagram.com/brian_egerton
@@bcegerton Wow your pics are stunning brother straight up man!
The Urban Collective You’re too kind lad, if you’re around town I use a walking stick, really smart pattern on it, give us a nod
So what was it originally some storage area for the barges
Possibly m8 I couldn't tell you Id say so though possibly similar to the ones that were at the foot of Manchester Cathedral?
Can’t wait
Hope ya enjoy it mike
The Urban Collective that’s great Thankyou clarky , brewing up and ready
Was only thinking about this place the other day. Looking forward to seeing the vid. 👍🏻
Cheers m8 I noticed its been done in the past as soon as it was abandoned but I like the true post apocalyptic decay to kick in first ;)
@@TheUrbanCollectiveWeFilmIt I've seen one video of it before but I think it was more recent rather than straight after closure. It still had the Christmas decs up from what I remember. A shame what happened to the place anyway, and a shame it never reopened.
@@beerbuildings Yeah it is m8 another ByGone pub to add to the collection...
@@TheUrbanCollectiveWeFilmIt I heard the Jolly Angler has been sold so will close at the end of the year. I wonder what will happen to that?
@@beerbuildings Not sure about that one m8 but I shall bare it in mind. We usually meet in the Edgerton amd start from there.
Another top explore mate was gonna pop in there for a quick pint but don't think I'll bother now 😂😂
Lol yeah, I wouldn't recommend it, dude!
Why did you not go up stairs so what if there's a tent you only done half an explore
Mint!! The old building you pointed out at the start, its the old Manchester electric board or something, check out Martin Zero, he's covered it on his TH-cam channel 👍
M8 I watch Martins vuds alk the time but deffo never seen that one, well, at least I dont think I have? Anyway tha ks for watching and for the heads up Il dig it out.
Thanks Clarky that was great, I never got to go in there but saw it before it was flooded from across the river and it was really busy on a sunny afternoon. Three pints mate, really ? You won't spend much on a night out lol. Take care and all the best. Stevie
Its age Im blaming it on m8 lol.
Or was it the abv% of the beer pal?
It didn't seem like five minutes ago when I'd seen the Mark Addy boozer and I didn't know it'd been flooded out until your vlog Clarky but I remember it looked really smart and was buzzin' on a lovely sunny afternoon. I'd been in an old pub across the bridge that was owned by the singer of "The Beautiful South", sorry mate but I can't remember his name (an age thing) lol.
@@stevesrepairs3815 Loll
@@stevesrepairs3815 Paul Heaton and the Kings Arms! I wonder if it's still open then?
Interesring place, some nice graffiti in there. 😎👍
We should link up sometime mate
Way back in 1997 I used to have the occasional lunchtime booze in that gaffe when I worked down Portland Street. Back then it used to stink of damp and touching the brick walls in areas was grim. Used to do a cracking stinky cheese board though 😅 would be great to see it reopen again as long as it's not a leftist puff house 🤐
Pmffsl Cheers Mark
I sleeped In here when I was homeless
No way man are you back on your feet now m8?
Great video! Out of interest have you ever been caught by security? Is there anything they can do?
Twice in over a hundred n thirty videos and no there's nothing they can do' they can't even touch you' not that I'm arrogant about it I just use my loaf and don't get caught. The two times I was caught we knew it would happen but took the risk to see the places.
Its classed as civil trespass so if the owner pressed charges then who knows what would happen. It's pretty much getting to the point now that I don't even have to worry as people seem to trust us.
Anyway, thanks for the feedback and great question take care pal.
Clarky.
The Urban Collective Thanks! Really wanted to take a look at the old Camelot Theme Park but had heard they had security so wasn’t sure, hopefully they don’t have dogs 😆
