Flea and Firkin Public House, Grosvenor Street, Manchester. The corner entrance of the Flea and Firkin public house viewed from the north-west, showing the green tiling and plaque of raised lettering of the buildings original name.
The Grosvenor Picture Palace opened in 1915. From the 1960s it was used for bingo, first in addition to showing films and later as a sole function. It then became a snooker club. The building remained largely unaltered until it was converted into a pub which opened in 1990, though much of the interior remains intact

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of history and transformation in the heart of Manchester. The image showcases the iconic Flea and Firkin Public House, located on Grosvenor Street. Its corner entrance, viewed from the north-west, reveals a stunning display of green tiling and a plaque adorned with raised lettering that proudly displays its original name. Originally known as the Grosvenor Picture Palace, this building opened its doors in 1915 as a cinema. Over time, it underwent various transitions - from showing films to hosting bingo games during the 1960s before becoming solely dedicated to snooker. Despite these changes, much of the interior has remained remarkably intact. In 1990, an exciting new chapter began for this historic establishment when it was transformed into a pub. Norman Walley's photograph beautifully captures both its rich heritage and contemporary adaptation. The image invites viewers to appreciate not only its architectural beauty but also hints at stories untold within those walls. With elements ranging from an elegant Ionic column to tiles that exude character and charm, this print encapsulates multiple layers of history within one frame. It serves as a testament to how buildings can evolve over time while still retaining their unique identity. Through this lens into Manchester's past and present, we are reminded of our city's vibrant culture where sport meets recreation and food meets drink – all under one roof at Flea and Firkin Public House.
