Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2AJRRKM - The Patten Arms, Warrington Bank Quay
The Patten Arms facing Warrington Bank Quay Station. In the early 16th century the Patten family purchased the entire Winmarleigh estate. The family was noted for their contribution to the development of Warrington and also for making the River Mersey more navigable, Thomas Patten did this in order to ship copper ore to his works at Bank Quay and for establishing vital transport connections to promote other trade in the area. It was Patten's son, also called Thomas, who built nearby Bank Hall (now the Town Hall) in 1750.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2A989TH - Thelwall is unquestionably a village of great antiquity, and was first mentioned in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle in the early 890s. Most reliable sources claim the name is derived from the Old English 'Thelwael', meaning 'deep pool with a plank' or 'pool with a plank bridge'. Records show that in AD 923 Edward the Elder, son of King Alfred, visited the place and for some time made it his residence with soldiers garrisoned there.
The murder myth
There is a story that the house that subsequently became the Little Manor was built for a general in Oliver Cromwell's New Model army in 1642, but the dates do not add up - in 1642 Cromwell was still an MP and governor of Ely, and wasn't promoted to colonel until 1643 in the new Eastern Association army raised by the Earl of Manchester. He was promoted to Lieutenant-General and second in command of the army in 1644.
The story has it that this general lived at Thelwall Cottage for many happy years, and was romantically involved with his housemaid. One day however he tried to disentangle himself from the relationship, and she murdered him in a fit of rage. Overcome by remorse, she then hanged herself from a tall fir tree in the driveway. Such is the legend, anyway, though closer investigation casts doubt on the veracity of the tale.
The history of the property
For the following account, we are indebted to local historian Michael Taylor, who has given invaluable help in explaining the history of the building. The following information is taken from his book 'No Mean City - A Local History of Thelwall in Cheshire', which can be purchased from the post office in the village. The property which became the Little Manor was originally built for the Percival family, who, it is believed, moved to Thelwall around 1660 from Latchford.

Photographed at 1 St Johns Rd, Huddersfield, West Yorkshire HD1 5AY, England, UK. The photograph was taken on 18 July 2015. This editorial stock image documents the subject as it appeared at that time, preserving a clear record of the place, its appearance and the everyday details surrounding it. The scene is closely associated with The Sportsman Inn, Huddersfield, West Yorkshire, decoration, mirror, 1970s, 1970's, circular, style and pub, adding specific subject detail and useful search context without losing the documentary focus on the main subject. Beyond the immediate subject, the scene is relevant to British pub culture, licensed premises, real ale, beer tourism and the continuing social role of the traditional public house. For picture buyers, the photograph can support editorial features about pubs and bars, hospitality, independent and managed venues, drinking culture, local heritage, city and town centres, leisure spending and the changing British high street. Details such as brewery branding, pub signage, entrances, windows, bar fittings, beer pumps or period architecture can provide useful visual evidence of how licensed premises present themselves to customers. The image also works as a record of everyday social history, documenting a familiar type of British hospitality venue at a particular moment in time rather than presenting an idealised studio view. Search themes naturally include British pub heritage, real ale and beer culture, licensed premises, hospitality, public houses, local drinking traditions and the role of pubs within town and city life. Where brewery names, pumps, windows, pub signs or period fittings are present, they add useful detail for features on brewing history, hospitality branding and traditional licensed interiors or exteriors. The view is firmly rooted in a real location rather than a constructed studio setting.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2KG3PMF - Customers drink, dine and socialise during a busy evening inside the Marble Arch Inn at 73 Rochdale Road, Manchester, one of the city's best-known historic public houses. Warm artificial light from hanging chandeliers illuminates the long room, while deep red curtains frame the tall windows and groups of patrons occupy tables on both sides of the narrow interior. The scene conveys the lively, relaxed character of a traditional Manchester boozer, with real ale drinkers talking over pints in a convivial setting at dusk.
The elaborate interior is a defining feature of the Grade II listed building. Glazed brick walls, a richly decorated ceramic frieze and the distinctive barrel-vaulted tiled ceiling create an unusually ornate drinking space. Decorative brackets, patterned surfaces, framed pictures, timber fittings and upholstered seating add to the preserved Victorian character. The pub is also renowned for its sloping mosaic floor, which descends towards the bar and forms part of the building's celebrated historic fabric.
Constructed in 1888 to designs by Manchester architects Darbyshire and Smith, the premises originally served as a show-house associated with McKenna's Brewery. The building was formally listed in 1988 in recognition of its architectural and historic interest. Its surviving tiled scheme is regarded as an important example of late nineteenth-century public-house design and helps make the venue a destination for architectural enthusiasts, real ale drinkers and visitors exploring Manchester's pub heritage.
The Marble Arch later became closely associated with Marble Brewery, founded at the rear of the premises in 1997. Brewing subsequently moved to larger facilities in Salford, although the Rochdale Road pub remains the spiritual home and flagship venue for Marble beers. The photograph documents a busy evening within a much-loved independent establishment where preserved Victorian craftsmanship, craft brewing culture, food and everyday Mancunian social
