A fine old landmark pub just off the main A6 bypass and beside Blackrod railway station. It retains a multi-room layout and now serves mostly as a food venue, the reviews for which are excellent. Drinkers are welcome to spend time at the bar and may also enjoy the comfortable chairs in the lounge area. Two real ales are usually available including Timothy Taylors Landlord supplemented by a national brand one, during more popular times a third one may also be available. It has reverted back from being known as the Rivington to its original name of the Ridgway, but is now wrongly spelt as Ridgeway according to the signs. The pub was named after John Ridgway owner of the Victoria Main Blackrod pit, it is a sad day when the pub can't get the historical name spelt right!

Historic Interest

In 1982 this was a Greenall Whitley keg pub
