New Inn (Springhead, OLDHAM)

The location of the New Inn on a 1892 map.


The New Inn was situated at 9 Heartshead Street in Springhead. The property had been a private dwelling but had opened as a beerhouse sometime in the 1850s. It was purchased by Wilsons Brewery in 1899 and remained open until 1913 (The Antelope Inn at the time was next door and trade was in decline). The former New In was demolished sometime in the late 1950s and the site is now a private dwelling.
