A substantial Holt’s pub on the Ashton Old Road that within my drinking memory received an extension to cater for burgeoning trade, but is now closed and boarded. The section in the foreground of the picture appears to be undergoing conversion for alternative use.
The pub never seemed to recover from its refurbishment and extension by Holts. I don't think it picked up any more trade so what had been quite a busy pub with a good atmosphere became a rather more cavernous affair with much less. I think it may have had a Pub of the Month award at some stage.
