11 The Sun Hotel - Littleborough
First visited : circa 1989
The Sun lies just beyond the Whitelees Road junction on the same side of the A58 as The Royal Exchange. A relatively imposing red brick building which hides some unattractive industrial buildings from the main road The Sun has been a hotal since the early nineteenth century.
In my time it was one of the few accommodation options in Littleborough although in 1986 when the Plysu firm was talking to Littleborough Civic Trust about moving into the area their director referred to it as "basically a transport cafe". That might reflect southern sensibilities but I wouldn't imagine it attracts many holiday-makers.
Again, I first visited it for a quiz fixture. The high ceiling did suggest hotel more than pub but otherwise there was no discernible class difference from Littleborough's other pubs.
