I know I've said the Slaters was at nu 21, exactly where it was when it was open.
Don't blame us if your dyslexic with numbers. Look at the picture & count the doorwys back from 29, remember its an Irish run so only odd numbers are used, here you go 27 comes next.

See, totally arrogant and obnoxious again. You obviously really, really don't know what you are on about. The pub your arrow is pointing at the Hope & Anchor, not the Hare & Hounds.
I don't know where the Hare & Hounds was, nor do I care where it was and it hasn't been mentioned on this thread as far as I can see. Once again you are using a diversionary tactic to try and confuse us.
Yes your new (but old) photo is of the Slater's when it was still open, but still proves nothing. My argument throughout is that you were wrong in saying the Slater's was at 21 Whalley Rd, because it wasn't. It was at number 13 Whalley Rd, on the corner of Marquis St and as Bob Dobson says, was demolished to make way for the construction of Broadway. That would have been sometime in the late 20's or more probable the early 30's, which I have been saying from the start. Broadway was opened to traffic on 30th June 1936 and as I've mentioned elsewhere, preparation work and demolition would have started a couple of years earlier (early 30's maybe). So a few of the nearby properties like the Slater's would have been vacated and left to fall apart even earlier, so like I have said previously, possibly late 20's - early 30's.
I am of Irish descent, my mother being a Dubliner and I take a little (though not much) offence at your comment ''remember it's an Irish run''
It was very probably Irish engineers and Irish labour that built Broadway.
