Ram Inn (Lydgate, OLDHAM)

The former Ram Inn in 2009.


The Ram Inn was situated at 67 Stockport Road in Lydgate. It was built in 1778 and for a brief period around 1818 was known as the Fleece. The inn was isolated and did little trade and in the late 19th century the neighbouring cottages were derelict. The Ram Inn closed in 1931 and the premises were later split into two dwellings. Note: Some people may think the lamp above the entrance is original to the pub (it's not). It may be old but the original Garsides Brewery lamp was much larger and had white glass.
