A modern estate-style pub in the shadow of the giant Manningham Mills, one of the largest in Britain. It is now given over to variety of non-pub businesses. The building immediately in front of the mill is the “Pile Pub”, also long since closed, which is believed to have been a social club for mill workers.
"Pile Bar" rather than "Pile Pub". Originally the Plush Silk and Textile Club.
