Sainsbury's Local shop, formerly the White Lion Hotel (built 1880, grade II listed), Wilmslow Road, Withington, Manchester, UK
This large building was once the White Lion Hotel (see the white lion on the tower), otherwise called the Withington Ale House. It is a Grade II Listed building. There was a previous building on this site, built sometime in the C18th, also called the White Lion, which was probably altered or rebuilt in 1840. The present building has an inset on the north wall (chimney exterior) with a date of 1880. The renovations to incorporate a mini-supermarket took place in 2010/11. Much of the old interior has been preserved including some fine stained glass and, in the basement, a well. There is a yard at the rear with a coach-house.
