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. Reopened 2021 after COVID
