The Pagefield
A monumental, ornate late Victorian or Edwardian pub situated in a residential area to the north-west of the town centre. In its latter years it was dubbed “The Famous Pagefield” which was a common practice with Greenall’s brewery. This is the 1000th entry on this blog, and promoted a post on my main blog.
