The Old Wellington Inn - a photo on Flickriver

            The oldest building of its kind in Manchester, it was built in 1552 next to the market square which led off what is now Market Street, in what was known as the Shambles.

In 1554 part of it became a draper's shop, owned by the Byrom family,and the writer John Byrom was born there in 1692.

 The building had a third storey added to it in the 17th century.

In 1830 the building became a licensed public house, known as the Vintners Arms, and later the Kenyon Vaults. By 1865 the ground floor of the building was known as the Wellington Inn, while the upper floors were used by makers of mathematical and optical instruments. Later, in 1897, the upper floors were used as a fishing tackle shop, known as "Ye Olde Fyshing Tackle Shoppe"
