Built as an ale house in 1870, paintings of the former pub adorn the lobby.

It was, for most of its life, part of the Wilson's empire.

A popular community hub, it serves both local cricket and football teams

as well as the Failsworth Blues group of the Manchester City Supporters Club.

There is a separate vault / games room and family room as well as the large lounge.

To the rear, is a lawned and paved beer garden complete with Willow tree.

Look out for the large, etched glass window, in the lounge, depicting a fisherman,

by a pond with willow tree and the pub itself. Excellent disabled access throughout.

Ample parking is available to two sides. Food is available Tuesday to Friday 12-6.

Quiz and Poker are hosted on Thursdays. Live music most Saturdays and Sundays.

Information for this venue is provided by the Rochdale Oldham & Bury Branch of CAMRA
