Rising Sun (Scouthead, OLDHAM)

The former Rising Sun in Scouthead 2012.


The Rising Sun was situated at 1259 Huddersfield Road in Scouthead almost directly opposite the former Star Inn. The cottage and its immediate neighbours were built in 1825 and the Rising Sun was selling beer by 1840. At this time its address was simply "Wellfield" (later Wellfield House). The Rising Sun closed in 1935 after it was deemed redundant to requirements. The inn returned to being a private residence as it still is today.
