This Pub is Closed Long Term

The Mop was a small traditional gem of a backstreet boozer. Many Boltonians didn't even know of its existence. Its survival laid testament to the friendly welcome. The pub sat alone in a small side street off Halliwell Rd. As you walked in, turning right into the small cosy bar which led into a snug with serving hatch to the bar. This area was later dominated by a pool table. On the left was a larger lounge. Out back was an extensive smoking and garden area. Rock bands often played at weekends. It could be argued that the pub would have benefited from some improvements, but more importantly it retained a traditional charm which had already been lost in so many other similar premises which are also now a fading memory.

Historic Interest

In 1982 it was a Free house selling Youngers Scotch Bitter
