The Vine Inn is a Grade II listed public house on Kennedy Street in Manchester, England. Although now a single pub, it occupies two separately listed structures: a former late 18th‑century townhouse at No. 46 and part of a former late 19th-century textile warehouse at Nos. 42 and 44. It stands beside another Grade II listed public house, the City Arms.
The building at 46 Kennedy Street originated as a townhouse, probably constructed in the late 18th century, with Nos. 42 and 44 originating as a textile warehouse built around 1860 to 1870, according to their official listings.[1][2] No. 46 was in use as a pub by the 1880s.[3][4]
The buildings appear on early Ordnance Survey mapping of central Manchester as part of a short terrace on Kennedy Street,[5] with their footprints remaining broadly consistent through the 19th century.[6] The pub stands immediately beside the City Arms at 48 Kennedy Street,[4] another Grade II listed public house.[7]
The connection between No. 46 and the former warehouse at Nos. 42 and 44 appears to have been created during the 1970s.[8]
On 3 October 1974, 46 Kennedy Street was designated a Grade II listed building,[1] with 42 and 44 Kennedy Street receiving the same grading almost two decades later, on 6 June 1994.[2]
