23 Tim Bobbin , Wardleworth - Rochdale
First visited : I can't recall a visit but there is a tick against it in the book indicating that I did once. *
This was more or less opposite the Railway but closed around 2002. It was an attractive three-storey building but is now in a poor state of repair with steel girders propping it up on the Rochdale side. This may have precipitated its closure but it also sits in a pretty exclusively Asian area. The building seems to be occupied as a private residence but for how much longer is open to doubt.
* Update - I have unearthed a diary entry for 31/01/1986 which reads "Had mince pie, peas and chips at the Tim Bobbin" . This means my visit took place during the period I was visiting Rochdale Library to research my dissertation.
