Not visited
Anyone familiar with the area will realise that we missed the Roach Hotel ( still open ) and the Seven Stars ( now Automoney ) on Rochdale Road before arriving in Heap Bridge.
The Bridge was unmissable, a large detatched red brick building serving this small industrial community. At the time we were passing through the huge Yates Duxbury paper mill nearby was still open but it fell in the Thatcher recession of the early eighties.
I'm not sure when the pub closed but the building is now Emerald House, the headquarters of an import/export firm.
