ThePeveril of the Peak is a historicpublic house inManchester, England. TheCampaign for Real Ale considers it to have an "interior of exceptional national historic importance."[1]
The pub was builtc. 1820 and underwent internal and external remodelling around 1900.[2] It has a green-tiled exterior with polished wood,stained glass windows, and bench seating inside.
The source of its name is disputed, with some saying it references the 1823novel of the same name by SirWalter Scott,[3] and others that it is in commemoration of a horse-drawnstagecoach that travelled between Manchester and London in only two days.[4][5]
The pub was reportedly used as a brothel byG.I.s during theSecond World War.[3]
On 19 June 1988, the Peveril of the Peak wasGrade II listed.[2]
The pub stands on a roughly triangular tract of land between Chepstow Street andGreat Bridgewater Street, with the rest of the original terrace demolished, surrounded by taller office and apartment blocks from the 19th and 21st centuries.[6]
