Converted 15/4/2011 to 'The Ash Tea Rooms'. Closed 16/1/2011. No planning application found. A later Planning Application DC/078315 | Residential conversion of existing building to create 9 no. apartments (C3) with associated access, landscaping, boundary treatments and infrastructure. Granted 23/4/2021. History: Was a very large, and well-appointed former Wilson's house, built at the turn of the 20th century. Several rooms (including a billiard room) radiated from the large bar. Cask beers were Boddingtons Bitter, plus a guest ale. The subsequent tea room business closed in 2018. The 2003 edition of CAMRA pub guide "Viaducts & Vaults 3" stated 'Following a major refurbishment, which has transformed the interior, customers have come back in their droves, following years of decline. A large open-plan pub, very comfortably furnished, with a dining area housing the dartboard in the evenings; vault area with pool and large screen TV for football, and a sizeable function room to the rear. There is entertainment every Thu and Fri night. As well as being home to the Reddish Blues (Manchester City), the pub is very popular for food. The garden is one of the best in the area for children, with swings and slides, and is a pleasant place for parents to have a drink while the kids play safely'.
