I remember that Yard too...there was a selling out shop very close to it and it was owned by a family called Mc Cartney...the duaghter was at school with me.
I am going back to around the late 1950's.
My Grandma used to get off the Manchester bus in Melbourne Street and head for The Star public house...she would have a half of mild and bring a bottle of beer to our house to have later.
Atarah, those pictures bring back some very happy memories...thank you.
