Grotton Hotel (Grotton, OLDHAM)

The Grotton Hotel in 2011.


The Grotton was situated on Oldham Road in the centre of Grotton. It opened in 1939 not long after the opening of the Grotton Lido and had been purposely built to accomodate the new influx of visitors to the area. The Lido didn't last long but the hotel remained poular with locals. The Grotton Hotel closed in 2011 and was put up for sale leaving Grotton without a pub. Given it's prime location a number of interested parties came forward from fast food outlets to a petrol station operator. In the end it was the Co-Op that purchased the premises and the store opened on 16th February 2012.
