North Western Hotel, New Mills

UPDATE 2008.


Closed by Robinsons Brewery in 2008 and devoid of fittings. Present situation unknown. This pub is therefore re-categorised as Permanently Closed.

The former description is shown below. 


Coursed stone construction at the front, rubble at the rear. with coloured leaded lights. A relatively large lobby, partially tiled with plain brown tiles, part panelled and giving access to all other rooms and the staircase, is dominated by the servery whose oaken bar front has a replacement top. The floor plan is substantially intact but a room to the rear of the servery has been converted to kitchen use and another small room (devoid of fittings) may not originally have been in public use. There are entrances at both ends of what is, in effect, an L shaped corridor round the bar counter. The rear lounge is delightful with bench seating having turned legs and turned spindles supporting the arm rails, with bell pushes above. The tiled fire surround is embellished by an overmantel with a pie crust (ish) shaped mirror. The seating was originally arranged to include a piano (opposite the fireplace), which was recently bought by the next-door neighbours. This room and the gents retain original oaken doors. The front lounge has lost most features but a tiled fire surround remains. There is a pierced-work F Robinson's floor mat inset in the front entrance.
