An early view of the Gynn Inn – c.1890

An Edwardian postcard showing the early days of the Gynn Inn

A very dark looking Gynn Inn. Looks to be from the early 1920’s, as it closed its doors in 1921. The street name of the left of the Gynn Inn reads, ‘Warbreck Hill Road’. Tram number is ‘113’.

Part of the Garth series of postcards

In 1939 The Gynn Hotel was built near the site of the old Gynn Inn. It had a drinks licence, transferred from the Duke of Cambridge Hotel which it had replaced.

The Gynn Inn has now been demolished

A superb picture by Charles Howell. The Gynn Inn finally closed its doors on 2nd May of 1921 and “Granny” Ashworth, the licensee for over twenty five years, moved to Uncle Tom’s Cabin which was then managed by her daughter, Mary Burnett. This view is dated August 1921 & probably the last Gynn Inn photo before demolition on the 15th August. From the photograph, it is clear the interior has already been gutted
