Duke of Edinburgh, Mill Street

Duke of Edinburgh, Mill Street, Beswick. (c) Manmates [1].

The Duke of Edinburgh is shown in 1963 as a Walker's pub and in 1971 as a Tetley's house on Mill Street, Beswick.  As late as 1989, this huge corner pub was still serving Tetley's on this once heavily-pubbed street [2].  The last boozer to go was the Bradford / Champagne Charlies / Guvnors.  The Duke of Edinburgh was at 366 Mill Street, which places it just where Mill Street now ends and has made way for Alan Turing Way.
