Hardy's Well

Hardy's Well was a public house located at the end of the Curry Mile,[1] at 257 Wilmslow Road,[2] in Rusholme, south Manchester, near to Platt Fields Park.

The front of the building had a Hardy's mosaic on it,[2] and was two storeys high with three bays, built of red brick.

[3] Following from a conversation between Lemn Sissay and the landlord & landlady (Andy Pye and Melanie Pemberton) in 1994, it had one of the first public poems painted on one of its gable walls.

[1] The pub was owned by Enterprise Inns and was listed as an asset of community value in 2015 as a result of an application by the Rusholme & Fallowfield Civic Society.

[6] On 25 May 2023, following an arson attack and fire on the site, Manchester City Council condemned the building on the grounds of the structure being unstable with risks to pedestrians and the local area.
