Worth drinking to: UK’s oldest landlady toasts 50 years at Manchester’s legendary Peveril of the Peak pub Colin Drury © Provided by The Independent When Tommy Swanick first suggested to wife Nancy that they should take over the Peveril Of The Peak pub in Manchester, she told him – and imagine this in the accent of a no-nonsense County Donegal woman – no way, not a chance, over her dead body. It was 1971 and the Victorian boozer (and one-time brothel) had something of a reputation.
