**The Maypole** is a [Grade II listed](/source/Grade_II_listed) former [public house](/source/Public_house) on Broughton Road in [Pendleton](/source/Pendleton%2C_Greater_Manchester), an inner-city district of [Salford](/source/Salford), England. Built in around 1860 in a [Gothic](/source/Gothic_architecture) style, it was designed by the [Manchester](/source/Manchester) architect James Redford and originally opened as a hotel named after a [maypole](/source/Maypole) that stood beside the site. It remained in pub use into the late 20th century before closing in the early 1990s and was later converted to residential use.

## History

The building was constructed in around 1860, according to its official listing.[1][a] While the listing does not specify its original use, a contemporary source records that it was built as a hotel.[3] It was designed by the [Manchester](/source/Manchester) architect James Redford for James Addison.[3] The hotel was named after a [maypole](/source/Maypole) that stood beside the site, raised by local subscription to replace [Pendleton](/source/Pendleton%2C_Greater_Manchester)'s earlier pole.[3]

The 1893 [Ordnance Survey](/source/Ordnance_Survey) map shows it in use as the Maypole Hotel,[4] while the 1922 edition marks it as a [public house](/source/Public_house) without an attributed name.[5]

According to a local history blog, anecdotal recollections suggest that the pub closed in the early 1990s.[6]

On 18 February 1998, The Maypole was designated a [Grade II listed](/source/Grade_II_listed) building.[1]

The building was subsequently converted to residential use, but the date of the conversion is not documented.

## Architecture

The building is constructed in brick with stone detailing and has a Welsh slate roof. It has two floors and five [bays](/source/Bay_(architecture)), with [gabled](/source/Gable) ends at each side, and is designed in a [Gothic](/source/Gothic_architecture) style.[7] The lower level is faced in stone. The main entrance sits just left of the centre within a small gabled porch.[1] To its left is a three‑part [mullioned](/source/Mullion) window; to its right are two later window openings, with a secondary doorway beneath the right‑hand gable.[1]

On the upper floor, the right‑hand gable contains an [oriel window](/source/Oriel_window) and a round opening set high in the gable. The central section has three arched windows with patterned brickwork above them, topped by a stone parapet with [corbelling](/source/Corbel) and two small [dormers](/source/Dormer) with hipped gables.[7] The left‑hand gable has a group of three round‑arched windows with coloured stone detailing, and above them stepped openings with a small cast‑iron balcony supported on brackets.[1] Both gables include shallow decorative corbelling and stone [coping](/source/Coping_(architecture)). The end walls have shortened chimney stacks.[7]
