It is indeed, as are many other much-loved features of the Northern Quarter, including Piccadilly Records, Vinyl Exchange, the Pop Cafe, Matt & Phred's etc

Nellie o’ Bob's o’t’ Crowtrees

Who is it at lives i' that cot on the lea,
    Joy o' my heart an' leet o' my ee?
    Who is that lass at's so dear unto me?
       Nelly o' Bob's o' t' Crowtrees.

    Who is it goes trippin' ower dew-spangled grass,
    Singin' so sweetly? Shoo smiles as I pass,
    Bonniest, rosy-cheek'd, gay-hearted lass!
       Nelly o' Bob's o' t' Crowtrees.

    Who is it I see i' my dreams of a neet ?
    Who lovingly whispers words tender an' sweet,
    Till I wakken to find shoo's nowheer i' t' seet?
       Nelly o' Bob's o' t' Crowtrees.

    Who is it at leads me so lively a donce,
    Yet to tawk serious ne'er gies me a chonce,
    An' niver replied when I begged on her once?
       Nelly o' Bob's o' t' Crowtrees.

    Who is it at ivery chap's hankerin' to get,
    Yet tosses her heead an' flies off in a pet,
    As mich as to say, "You've not getten me yet"?
       Nelly o' Bob's o' t' Crowtrees.

    Who is it could mak life a long summer's day,
    Whose smile would drive sorrow an' trouble away,
    An' mak t' hardest wark, if for her, seem like play?
       Nelly o' Bob's o' t' Crowtrees.

    Who is it I'll have if I've iver a wife,
    An' love her, her only, to th' end o' my life,
    An' nurse her i' sickness, an' guard her from strife?
       Nelly o' Bob's o' t' Crowtrees.

    Who is it at's promised, to-neet if it's fine,
    To meet me at t' corner o' t' mistal(1) at nine?
    Why, it's her at I've langed for so long to mak mine-
       Nelly o' Bob's o' t' Crowtrees.
