Blossoms, Stockport

Early 19th century building which retains its original plan form with lobby and three rooms off. Bells Brewery pub. Built 1824 on what was 'Blossoms Hill. Its little-altered interior owes much to the long-serving licensee Mary Body from 1942 to 1967. A passage from the front door leads to the lobby bar with a curved counter that looks similar to a 1950s design but it has a modern top and the bar back fitting looks modern. On the front right is the vault now with a pool table. It retains its original fixed seating in two sections, splendid coloured glass windows but has lost a fireplace and the floor has a modern lino tiled floor.

On the front left is a small room with door, more coloured leaded glass windows, a couple of antique settles but no fixed seating. At the rear left is the smoke room which is pretty much intactl intact vintage fixed seating all around with signs of bell pushes, a tiled (modern) and elaborately carved fireplace, service from a hatch to bar, stained glass window and tables which look very old. Modernised toilets. Function room upstairs.
