Sir Ralph Abercromby

The Sir Ralph Abercromby is a traditional red-brick pub on Bootle Street that stands out for its deep connection to one of the most violent moments in Manchester's history. It is one of the few buildings in the area that existed at the time of the Peterloo Massacre on August sixteenth, eighteen nineteen. On that day, cavalry charged a crowd of sixty thousand people gathered on St. Peter’s Field to demand parliamentary reform, leaving eighteen dead and hundreds injured.
