Hyde Pubs 1975 (30)











There doesn't seem to be a great difference between the photos of 7 years ago and the current one - I had to check a couple of times to make sure I'd got them the right way round. The older one is above and the recent one below.

Hyde Pubs 1975 (29)









I knew of The President, but apart from the fact that it was in Hattersley I'd no idea where it was. It tells you above that it was on John Kennedy Road, but there's no mention of it in Paul Taylor's book and when I drove down the road I could see no obvious sign of where it might have been. I did, however, find a site on the Internet dedicated to former pubs in the Manchester area which placed it on the corner of John Kennedy Road and Ashworth Lane - and it said that the bulding had been demolished and new houses built in its place. So the houses pictured below, behind where the new Tesco now stands, are where The President used to be.

Hyde Pubs 1975 (28)










This is what is now where the White Hart once stood, and I didn't take any photos when it was still standing.....
.....but I took these photos 5 years ago of this old building at the back of the flats that are there now.....
.....presumably it was once part of the old pub.
