An imposing redbrick pub on the main A6 north of Stockport town centre, still bearing lettering for Hardy’s Crown Brewery, who were eventually taken over by Bass. It was later the home of the Fool Hardy micro-brewery, and it is reported thatit is now going to be converted into a drive-thru branch of the Harry Ramsden’s fish and chip shop chain.
