| The Marston Tavern in 1986. |
The Marston Tavern started life as a beerhouse called the Radcliffe Arms around 1860. It was situated at 83 Rochdale Road at the junction with Radcliffe Street. The pub was purchased by Marstons Brewery in 1961 and after it was refurbished in 1976 a competition to rename it. The unimaginative Marton Tavern was the winner and that it remained until it closed in 2011.
My gran and grandad ran this pub in the 50s/60 s. It was called the Radcliffe Inn. We lived round the corner on Spring Garden St.

ReplyDeleteI used to call in here at the start of my drinking career, late 60's, on the way home from work at Parkside Mill. Jack and Elsie Fletcher were landlord/lady. Moved to Blackpool in 2003 and bought their house off them!!
