EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant print captures the front elevation of the former Temperance Billiard Hall, located on Cheetham Hill Road in Cheetham, Manchester. Built in 1906 for the Temperance Billiard Halls Company, this architectural gem was designed by their in-house architect Norman Evans. Its stunning art nouveau features and historical significance have earned it a Grade II listing. Over time, this iconic building transformed into the Hot Shots Snooker Club before eventually being repurposed as a fruit and vegetable warehouse and shop in the 21st century. Despite its varied uses throughout history, this structure has remained an integral part of Manchester's sports heritage. The photograph showcases not only the billiard hall's striking exterior but also highlights its colorful surroundings. The bustling market stalls nearby add to the lively atmosphere captured within this image. As we admire this snapshot from Historic England's collection, we are reminded of both sport and recreation's importance in society and how buildings can evolve over time to serve different purposes while still retaining their historical charm. This print is a testament to Manchester's rich sporting history and serves as a visual reminder of our ever-changing urban landscape.
