£1.8m overhaul and new name for historic pub
Manchester Evening News
|October 01, 2025
ONE of Manchester's oldest pubs has been given a new name amid a massive transformation.
The Shamrock, on Bengal Street in Ancoats, dates back to 1808 and served the area for more than 200 years before its closure in 2018. It was taken over by the family-run Joseph Holt brewery in 2019.
Following delays due to the Covid pandemic, the 176-year-old family business has now begun a major renovation of the building.
