Oldest Licensed House in Britain the Seven Stars Manchester
Longstanding hostelry claims to be Britain's oldest licensed house dating to 1356, predating Manchester's 1390 charter by 55 years. Legends link Dick Turpin and Guy Fawkes to the inn, which Harrison Ainsworth used in his tale of Guy Fawkes. A ground floor room bears Ye Guy Faux Chamber. In 1745 it served Manchester’s Prince Charlie supporters under Colonel Townley. The hosiery section notes Byron’s chair, and New York is cited as hosting largest world library.
