85 Bull's Head - Reddish

Not  visited

The  Bull's  Head  was  further  up  Gorton  Road. The  lovely  building  is  still  there  but  is  now  owned  and  used   by  a  building  firm.

It  closed  down  around  2010  and  in  2012  there  was  a  planning  application  submitted  to  turn it  into  a  mosque  which  was  quickly  withdrawn.

The  pub  had  a  minor  piece  of  football  history  attached  to  it. It  owned  a  nearby  pitch  and  Gorton  FC , the  forerunners  of  Manchester  City  were  based  there  for  two  years  from  1885  using  the  pub  ( though  a  previous  building )  as  changing  rooms.
