Britons Protection straddles two hauntings across three centuries. Nun glides from forgotten tunnels.
Redcoat deserter drums. Landlady sighs. Georgian walls divide eras. Salford’s spectral crossroads pulses.
The Nun’s Silent Glide
17th century convent collapsed into tunnels. Nun searches for lost sisters. Habit rustles empty bar.
Cross glints in peripheral vision. Rosary clicks down stairs. Candle wax drips on polished wood.
Why surface now? 1806 pub construction breached crypt. Nun follows ale fumes upward.
Deserter’s Restless March
1815 Waterloo veteran hid here. Betrayed, hanged. Drumbeat precedes his scarlet form.
Musket clatters behind bar. Boots pace cellar. Shoulder taps startle drinkers.
Name etched in glass—Private Ellis. Fades at reveille.
Tunnel Convergence
Pub spans convent tunnels, Napoleonic hideouts. Brick walls vibrate during dual manifestations.
Air splits—floral perfume meets gunpowder. Two voices overlap prayers, curses.
Georgian Anchor
Grade II listed 1806. Napoleonic patriotism named it. Peterloo radicals met here after.
Dark wood, stained glass preserved both eras. Cellar crossroads.
Modern Cross-Witness
2024 staff heard drum + rosary simultaneously. Temperature split—hot/cold divide.
Pints slide toward tunnel grate. Shadows cast twin silhouettes.
We would love to investigate this location, but right now we are running events at Lark Lane Liverpool, Mayer Hall Wirral, Penrhyn Old Hall, Coffee House Wavertree, Transport Museum Manchester.
