The Ducie Arms 

When I first created this web site the Ducie Arms was one of the relatively few pubs still open for business in Longsight.  By 2008, as you can see from the photograph below, the Ducie is closed and boarded-up.

It sat near the junction of Plymouth Grove and Stockport Road next door to Longsight Hall, which once had the Longsight Library attached to it.  It is indicated by the red arrow on the aerial photograph below, dated 1953.

I remember that there was a toyshop called Highways near the Ducie in the 50s, and across Stockport Road there was a car display room for Auto-Union Cars which I think went on to be Audi.
