The Apollo (Royton, OLDHAM)

1891 map showing location of the Apollo.


The Apollo stood at the corner of Park Lane and Rochdale Road. It's address was 173 Rochdale road and its location today would be the Rochdale bound bus stop at the park Lane junction. It was built around 1840 and by the 1850s had become a beerhouse called the Apollo. It closed in 1908 under the Compensation Act. The former Apollo appears to have been demolished around 1972.
