It started publication in 1897, was renamed Evening Chronicle in 1914 but stayed in Manchester.
[3] Edward Hulton and Co., of London and Manchester, a private company of proprietors, printers and publishers, was sold for £6 million when Hulton retired due to illness in 1923.

The event was won by Belgian Flory Van Donck in 1947, by Australian Norman Von Nida in 1948 and Northern Irish golfer Fred Daly in 1949.
