The address (242 Manchester Road) is spot on - look on the Street level map and it is at the junction of Worsley Road (A572) and Manchester Road (A6) just at the point where Manchester Road turns into Chorley Road.

Not near Lwr Sutherland Street - Sorry Brakn - only pub near there is the Foresters and I wouldn't wish that on anyone!

White Lion don't do beds but as posted earlier there are 2 x premier lodges nearby. The New Ellesmere - 1/2 mile and the Henry Boddington - 1 mile. Plenty of rooms at the moment at 46 pounds for a twin/double or family room. Central booking number is 08702 01 02 03. There is also a private Hotel about 1/4 mile away - Cordells, which is 48 pounds for a twin / double including breakfast Tel: 0161 794 5330

There is plenty of other accomodation nearby in Salford and Eccles (2-3 miles) if these are too expensive or booked up. Ring Salford Tourist information at Salford Quays on 0161 794 5330 for details.

I can put up a single and a couple as well but the double is a fold out in the dining room. PM me if you want to take me up on the offer.

Anyone else interested in trying to do something for Children in need over that weekend BTW???

Cheers and see you all soon
