First visited : September 2011
I know this one . It was opposite Little Bolton Town Hall and the place where I normally park when I go into Bolton.
I'm pretty sure this was the pub where myself and two other guys decamped for a drink after a meal at a pizza restaurant nearby, where I had "my" leaving do from Bolton MBC in September 2011. I put "my" in inverted commas because a ( very nice ) girl called Lorraine was leaving for the arms length housing company around the same time and let me piggyback on her do. Out of around 20 people who attended, there was only one guy that I don't think would have turned out for Lorraine alone and not many that would have come if it was just for me. You have one of the reasons I left right there. It was a fairly joyless occasion for me, just a ritual to go through and I felt very little emotion on my way back to the car.
From what I recall, the pub was quite nice and quiet, a refuge from the noisier bars on Deansgate so it's sad to report it closed since 2015. I believe it's going to be converted into flats.
This was the last pub name collected on that trip to Smithills Hall. We now jump to the other side of the Pennines.
