A purpose-built pub opened in 1937 alongside the main A62 road from Oldham to Huddersfield – from the look of the signage by one of Bass’ predecessor companies. Now derelict and at the mercy of the elements, it appeared in the 1984 Good Pub Guide and was still trading in the early 1990s. There is an epitaph for it here. Only a mile or so from the Floating Light – most of the roadside pubs on this route have now gone.
How would I go about getting more infomation about this property?
ReplyDeleteDemolish the eye sore.
ReplyDeleteav u seen wat tradesmen can do to buildings ov this nature it would be sad to see it demolished
ReplyDeleteThis is a monument to modern society where people break into your property,burgal it then set fire to it. Having first battered one pet dog which fortunately managed to escape but left the second dog to die in the flames. I wonder if the perpetrators sleep well at night. I do hope not,
ReplyDeleteAnyone know who owns this property or land?
ReplyDeleteFirst sign of snow, we used to go there in the late 80's early 90's.
ReplyDeleteWas always a challenge to get there when it snowed, but so rewarding to get there and sit by the open fire with a nice pint.
