33 New Zealand Chief - Bolton



Not  visited

It  seems  like  one  up  one  down  since  we  got  to  Bolton. The  exotically  named  pub  once  claimed  to  have  the  smallest  bar  in  England. It  was  closed  down  in  1984  and  then  demolished  to  make  way  for  office  buildings  two  years  later.

UPDATE : June  2014   The  office  buildings  which  replaced  The  New  Zealand  Chief  have  now  been  demolished  themselves  to  make  way  for  Bolton's  new  Interchange.

  1. That's a shame. I used to visit Bolton regularly many years ago and remember the New Zealand Chief. It used to be quite a dive as I remember.

  2. Hi. Your comment prompted another search for a picture and I found the one above (c/o Peter Haslam )which shows a small portion of the pub on the left hand side.
