Reopened as a pub 16/4/2014, albeit it is only open on Manchester City FC home games. The pub is privately owned by a Mr J Gleave who has been at the pub since 2001 now. Although it has limited opening times, on those days when open, pre- and post-match, it can shift anything from 800 to 1,000 pints (which is more than some places sell in a week!). History: Closed 2/2/2010 then seemingly change of use to accommodation. Prior to closure it was a lovely little Tetley house, with a fascinating aviary in the rear yard. Sold cask Tetley bitter for a time. It had unusual pierced wooden benching in the vault.
