126 The White Lion- Lowerplace

Not  visited

 The  White  Lion   stood  on  the  corner  of  Oldham  Road  and  Kingsway.  It  was  demolished  when  the  road  improvements  were  made  in  2007  but  how  long  it  had  been  closed  before  that  I  couldn't  say.

125 The Plough - Lowerplace

First  visited : 30  April  2016

This  isn't  one  I have  any  plans  to  visit  again.

The  Plough  is  on  the  right  hand  side  as  you  approach  the  lights  at  Kingsway. It's  an  attractive  stone  built  property  but  pretty  unwelcoming  on  the  inside.

It's  small, without  a  great  deal  of  seating  plus  an  over-loud  jukebox  and  unattractive  clientele.  The  landlord  is  obviously  into  amateur  football  as  most  of  the  wall  space  not  taken  up  by  TV  screens  is  given  over  to  photographs  and  other  memorabilia  of  three  local  clubs . That's  the  only  positive  thing  I  can  say  about  this  otherwise  charmless pub.
