Sir Ralph Abercromby , also known as the Abercrombie , is a pub between Jackson 's Row and Bootle Street , in Manchester , England , named after Lieutenant-General Sir Ralph Abercromby . Built in the 19th century , it is the only structure remaining in the area from the time of the Peterloo Massacre . Wounded people from the massacre were brought to the pub for medical treatment . Many later changes were made to the building , both inside and outside , with no substantial 19th century features remaining . It is thought to be the inspiration for the pub in '' Life on Mars ''
