Live and Let Live (Glodwick, OLDHAM)

The Live and Let Live in 2006.

The Live and Let Live was situated at 141 Glodwick Road. It started as a beerhouse back in 1839 and was rebuilt in 1975 further back from the road to accomodate a car park. In 1982 Boddingtons reinvented the Live and Let Live into a "fun pub" called the Mardi Gras which only lasted until 1986 when they changed it back to a more traditional pub called the Turn of Luck. In 1994 there was a major refurbishment and the pub became the Live and Let Live again. In 2001 the pub became a focal point for the Oldham riots when it came under attack by local asians. It re-opened but trade suffered as a result and it finally closed in 2007 and subsequently became an asian clothes shop.
