A 300 year old Village pub where one can stand on the old pack horse bridge opposite and watch the River Irwell slowly meandering along. The Horseshoe's earliest definitive reference to Pub Licensing records is for 1761. The Pub was a scheduled stop for all Manchester-bound packets on the canal, which used to run by the side of the building. Here, packets were left for local delivery, and the landlord gladly served ale to the thirsty passengers before they continued on their journey. Often busy for food orientated customers. Last orders is 1 hour before closing time. There is an area to the right of the front entrance reserved for drinkers to have a quiet pint and chat whilst those wishing to dine use the rest of the pub. A log burner has been installed in the front room as well as a real open fire in the other room. There are a few seats at the front of the pub which are well used in the warmer days when one can enjoy the views and listen to the River Irwell passing by. The Kingfisher Trail in the Croal Irwell Valley and the Rotary Way both run alongside the Pub.

Historic Interest

In 1982 it was a Thwaites pub selling Mild and Bitter (E)
