Hello HE,

If you were approaching Horwich End from Tunstead Milton you would pass the old quarry on your right which is opposite the place where the old caravan is in the field. You know where I mean, where the little horses and dogs are kept. Then you come to a newly improved entrance on the right that is also a public footpath which takes you up to Eccles Road.
 
Up this road at one time was a pit called the Drum and Monkey there was also a pub there called by the same name: The Drum and Monkey.
 
This is now 2 Ivy Bank Cottages.
 

Good afternoon R. S-S

Latest word on the street is the Board Inn has been sold to a private individual who intends opening the establishment as a free house under the name “Drum and Monkey”.

Were you able to obtain any further information on the original “Drum and Monkey”?

Hello HE,
Somewhere my good friend I have some stuff on the Drum and Monkey and I was looking at it only a few days ago and can I find it today? Of course not.
Just where it is I cannot think but I most certainly will continue the search. It refers to the Drum and Monkey as a coal mine but I stand by the statement that you quoted that long ago the Drum and Monkey was also a public house or an ale house.
Many years ago I lived close to a lady who then was in her 90’s and she could remember the pub.

Hi, Anonymouse has been in touch again. My apologies to him for the delay in posting his pictures but here is one of the White Horse looking along Market Street with Old Road running up to the left..1920's perhaps ??? (or 1890's?? not certain)  I think I have seen a similar view before , and I would love to have a high resolution scan of this view to capture more of the detail. If anyone has an original photograph I would be very happy to scan it if possible....

Cheers

Jon.

White Horse?
The optimist believes that Whaley Bridge is the best place in the world to live. The pessimist fears he might be correct.

In those days it is more likely to be for non-smokers.

I have been told at the hut they sold cooked peas or was it tripe? I don't know if it is true though.

I’m obviously a bit behind as far as the forum goes but I’ve just seen the photo from Norm’s collection: (post number 435 by Norm).


It is of the little wooden hut outside the White Hart Pub.


As far as I am aware this was a pie shop and it was run by Mrs Feesey.
I have no idea what sort of pies she sold there or whether they were cooked there.

Good afternoon Well Known Norm.

 

As far as I can see the pubs on your photo are:

Jodrell Arms, Railway Hotel and the Goyt Inn

I think the property which was once the Bull's Head is also on the photo but I don't think it would have been a pub when this photograph was taken.

Yes, HE, I reckon that three is correct, another rare view of the Goyt. Certainly a large sign on the Railway for Robbies, Stockport.

I believe this photo is dated in the 1940s, but I certainly don't mind being corrected because that is why the forum exists. If any members can narrow it down due to buildings etc then please post.

Norm

There is no sign of Orchard Ave. being built so my guess is it was taken in the early 1930s. if anyone can get closer I would like to know.

A very happy New Year to you Horwich Ender,

We have discovered through this thread that the almost forgotten Pub , The Old Tankard, was situated on the spot on Bridge Street where the houses now are which were built in 1913.

I do not think this photo, or certainly not one as good, has appeared on this forum before.

But could that doorway with the arched head be, possibly be, the entrance to Th’Owd Tin Can (The Old Tankard)

The photo is dated 1900.

I’ll leave it to forum members to decide.

Also note the drinking well in the foreground.

R. S-S
