A must look at pub when visiting Wigan, only a five minute walk from the town center. This listed building, once a hotel, now a public house built. 1902 (dated in stair window), for Magee, Marshall & Co; to replace an older building and brewery, it is slightly altered. It is an impressive red brick in English garden wall bond with sandstone dressings, with beautiful tiles on many walls, a magnificent wooden staircase and ornate ceilings and etched windows. It boast a very well maintained bowling green; 13 teams play here and it is the traditional home of Wigan Athletic Supporters Club. It has an active pub games team, playing against other local pubs.

One star - A pub interior of special national historic interest

Listed status: II

Update 2015: Sold by Admiral Taverns. It is currently closed future uncertain.

Impressive red brick three-storey former hotel in Free Renaissance style with two turrets built in 1902. There is much to admire here but unfortunately all the bar fittings are modern. There is a grand stone exterior porch with two columns holding up a balustraded balcony with 'Pagefield Hotel' in stone. The passage into the pub has 4 tall tiled panels of elegant ladies and a scallop shaped ceramic above. On the other side of the pub are more tiled walls, tiled panels, lots of etched windows including 'Smoke Room', 'Bar', 'News Room', and 'Club Room'. Lots of good leaded lights including 'MM & Co. Ltd'. There is some original fixed seating and the odd bell-push.
