Old Blue Cock Inn (Royton, OLDHAM)

The Old Blue Cock Inn in 1928 shortly before closure.


The Blue Cock Inn was situated in an area of Royton known as Gravel Hole. It's address was given as 140 Castleton Road. As to when it was built I'm unsure but it was certainly in existance from 1861. It closed in 1928 due to poor trade and the Old Blue Cock Inn became a private residence. In the 1960s the former Old Blue Cock Inn was demolished when the immediate area was landscaped for the building of a primary school which still stands on the site. (Thornham St James).
