First visited : 3 June 1984
It's sad that this one on the A58 looking out over Baitings Reservoir closed down some years ago. I first went in after a Littleborough Civic Trust walk led by the late John Hindle and it was a nice quiet pub which did good food. I went there with my mum at least once. For a time in the nineties, an attractive girl called Kathy from Wardle worked there who I knew vaguely through my friend Lincoln Jackson , a shopkeeper in his sixties but still with an eye for a pretty girl.
The eighteenth century building is a grade II listed building and the conversion to a private dwelling has been nicely done. I think that the Blue Ball Inn which looked down on it from an older and higher road above has also now bitten the dust.
