William the Fourth (Royton, OLDHAM)

The William the Fourth c.1920.


The William the Fourth was situated at 177 Higginshaw Lane and dates to at least 1820. Around the 1870s nine terraced houses were built adjoining the pub to the north and the outline of these can be see in aerial photos of the area today. This is the waste ground lying opposite Topps Tiles. The William the Fourth closed sometime in the late 1920s and was eventually demolished in the early 70s.
