Wow …another great piece . How interesting that ex PM Balfour whose name has been in the media of late due to the troubles in the Middle East and his significant historical part in it , should have played a part in city’s history! Chester’s brewery was in green gate Salford and the aroma could be smelt around deansgate in the mid 70s when I started work . Keep up the excellent work
Thanks. I'll be writing more about Balfour later in this serialization. There's also a link between the City Football Academy site and the creation of Israel, which I'll be going into.
Chester’s brewery went years ago , it was taken over by whitbread and the Chester’s name disappeared from all pubs soon after . Look forward to the next update

Is that brewery still there?
I've also added a photo of Balfour at Hyde Road to this piece.
