| The former Mare and Foal in 2012. |
The former Mare and Foal is situated at 2 Ashton Road in the Primrose Bank area of Werneth. It started life as the Horse and Jockey in 1802 and in 1811 it became the Mare and Foal. By 1939 the pub was in poor condition and the owner Wilsons Brewery submitted plans for a new Mare and Foal. The Second World War postponed the rebuild and strict control regarding the use of essential building materials meant that the new Mare and Foal wasn't built until 1957. The Mare and Foal closed in 2003 and became a restaurant/takeaway the following year. This is certainly a unique building for Oldham..a 1930s pub built in the 1950s and to top it has survived a war and two regeneration projects in the area.
My Grandma & Grandad where the Landlady & Landlord about the late 1940's.
