113 Trap Inn - Oldham



First  visited : 12  December  2015

This  was  a  strange  one.  The  Trap  Inn  is  further  down  Rochdale  Road  on  the  right  hand  side. Having  worked  out  where  to  park  which  took  a  bit  of  time  as  there's  nowhere  obvious, I  approached  with  some  trepidation. The  corner  window  let  you  see  into  a  completely  bare  games  room, there  was  no  signage  as  far  as  I  could  see  and  there  was  a  hole  - possibly  even  a  bullet  hole- in  the  front  window.

I  walked  into  the  lounge  and  it  was  lovely, practically  deserted  but  well  laid  out  and  spotless. I  had  obviously  visited  mid-refurbishment  with  all  the  seating  newly  upholstered  and  clean. The  bar  man  hadn't  much  to  serve, just  a  couple  of  fridges  full  of  cans  and  bottles  and  a  handful  of  packets  of  crisps  and  you  wonder  why  they've  bothered  to  open  up  at  all  before  the  work's  finished  but  hey  ho  it 's  another  one  off  the  list.
