One of Manchester's oldest and most historic pubs has lay abandoned and derelict since its closure.
The Jolly Angler, on the corner of Ducie Street and Pigeon Street in Ancoats, dates back to 1854. Before its closure just after Christmas 2020, it regularly featured in CAMRA's Good Beer Guide and was known for its traditional folk and Irish music nights.
Located on the streets between Piccadilly Station and Great Ancoats Street, the pub was described as a hidden gem, with one Trip Advisor review described it as: "[Looking] more like the the only terraced house in the street rather than a pub," adding: "If you can find it, it’s truly a step back in time and a rare glimpse of how a pub should really be. Its hidden location just adds to its charm."

Recently, the inside of the pub was photographed by an urban explorer called Jake, and the photos uploaded to his Facebook page Exploring With Jake. It shows signs that it may have recently been used by squatters since it closed in 2020, with old furniture and pub signage still visible inside.
Among the pub memorabilia inside are drinks bottles, food tins, and a sleeping bag. While a number of the rooms appear to be cluttered with rubbish, there's also a copy of the Manchester Evening News from 1989, celebrating the 80th birthday of legendary Manchester United manager Sir Matt Busby.
There is also a collection of strange pictures that have been left behind. One appears to be a print of the infamous Crying Boy painting which is thought by some to be cursed.
