The Mawson Hotel (also known as The Mawson) is a Grade II listed former public house on Frances Street in Chorlton-on-Medlock, an inner-city area of Manchester, England. Built in the mid to late 19th century and originally a small hotel, it was amalgamated with two neighbouring houses and rebuilt in 1936–37. It continued in use as a public house until its closure in 2012. A listed building consent application submitted in 2019 for alterations to the property was withdrawn in 2024, and no subsequent proposals for its reuse have been recorded.
The building began as a small hotel of the mid to late 19th century. It was later combined with Nos. 74 and 76 Frances Street,[1] and was rebuilt as a public house in 1936–37 to plans prepared by Fred Riley of Brameld & Smith, Manchester,[2] for Joshua Tetley & Son of Leeds.[1]
The Mawson name derives from the Mawson family, who had lived at nearby Ardwick Green in earlier years. The building was originally a Tetley Walker house and was included on CAMRA's National Inventory of Historic Pub Interiors.[3]
On 31 March 2010, the pub was designated a Grade II listed building,[1] and it subsequently closed in 2012.[3]
A planning application for listed building consent for "internal alterations, room sub-division and refurbishment of interior and exterior" was submitted to Manchester City Council in 2019, but was withdrawn in 2024, and no subsequent proposals have been recorded on the council's planning register as of April 2026[update].[4]
