About
The Marble Arch on Rochdale Road, Manchester, was built in 1888 with a tile-and-mosaic interior so heavy the floor sloped sideways under its own weight — an effect still visible today. Marble floor, glazed-brick walls, mosaic frieze listing every drink the pub originally served. Grade II-listed; CAMRA National Inventory.
