Windsor Hotel (Royton, OLDHAM)

The Windsor Hotel c.2000 before restoration.


The Windsor Hotel was situated at 328 Shaw Road in Royton and built in 1864. Over the years the pub was enlarged with various additions (in the early 70s it had what some Mancunians refer to as an "outdoor" - an off licence). The Windsor Hotel closed around 1999 and in 2001 was extended yet further to accomodate flats and what is now a deli. After three years restoration work the former Windsor Hotel was sold and became a hairdressers and tanning salon. This closed in 2011 and the premises is now occupied by a dance school.
