Garibaldi, Abbey Hey

Converted 1/12/2020 for residential use (Class C3). Closed 15/3/2017, sold at auction for non-pub use. Planning Application 126389/FO/2020 | Change of use of public house (Class A4) to 3 residential apartments (Class C3) with associated elevational alterations. Granted 4/11/2021.

History: As of mid-2020, the premises appeared derelict and were boarded up. Sold 15/3/2017 at auction for non-pub use. Was a friendly welcoming two-room house which started offering cask real ale in late 2014 following many years of selling just keg beers. Uptake had been so successful, that a second beer was being considered. It was popular with local CAMRA members too, who enjoyed a 10% discount. Easily accessible using public transport via Gorton rail station (two mins walk) or bus 7 (or high-frequency 219 along Ashton Old Rd). The large beer garden included a covered smoking area. Well worth finding even though it was set in a somewhat isolated position.
