If you don’t already have the information about location, here it is. Coach and Horses Pub, Denton Address: 125 Hyde Road, Denton, Manchester, M34 3BB (tel: 07981 234567) It also looks like the current occupiers have a facebook page you might want to try - www.facebook.com/thecoachandhorsesdenton. The page has a photo but this might be another avenue to explore for more information. I've often found copies of old photos on the 'Tameside Image Archive' (just Google it) but you'll probably have to be adventurous with the text you enter into the search engine there. 'Coach and Horses, Denton' won't do it but Hyde Road, Denton' might. You could also, accidentally for example, find it in the background of a photo of a Whit Walks procession down Hyde Road. |

As an afterthought, Zoe83, I had a quick look at the Historical Directories website (just Google it) which is a collection of pre-1911 Trades Directories you can access free of charge if you want to try yourself. It's fiddly but usually worth the effort if you persevere.
In the 1903 Slater's Manchester, Salford & Suburban Directory, I found that the landlord of the Coach & Horses, Hyde Road, Denton was William Eversden. I suspect that in 1901, this same man (born Glossop, Derbyshire in 1865) had been innkeeper at the Romiley Arms Hotel, Bredbury and that he died in 1905 - i.e. before the 1911 census was taken. At any rate, by 1911, his widow, Alice (born 1866, Padfield, Glossop) and their two children had moved on to Alexandra Road, Chorlton, Manchester where she now owned and ran a fruiterer business.
No further details about the Coach and Horses I'm afraid, but you might find those by searching the 1911 census for the Hyde Road address on either Ancestry or Find My Past websites. Beware though. Broad searches are free but these are paysites if you want the detail.
