57 Hark to Towler - Heywood
First visited : 12 October 2013
This pub is just a stone's throw from the Summit on the same side of the road so I was reliant on the other lads spotting it while I scribbled down the previous pub's name. I actually remember them struggling to get across this unusual name to me ; it's funny how little details like that stick in the mind.
I must confess I have no idea who Towler was or why he / she should be worthy of anyone's attention but it's certainly a name you remember.
I visited it today with my son Simon after the match. It's a long building with a small lounge at one end of the bar and a basic games room at the other. It's an old-fashioned , slightly shabby, working class pub. It was reasonably busy for a Saturday teatime and the locals were friendly. The Halloween decorations were already up and were actually quite impressive particularly the two life-size figures facing the bar. The tray of free sandwiches ( quite good ) was another nice touch.
