Stockport & South Manchester

Original Mild Magic Pubs

The following table shows the founding 52 pubs which inaugurated Mild Magic (then known as Stockport Mild Challenge).

Those still on Mild Magic (though maybe not for all intervening 30 years!) are highlighted in salmon.

Pubs highlighted in grey are those lost to the pub trade altogether, some being demolished but most repurposed to some new use (restaurant, house and et cetera).

Many of the pubs still remailing open are Robinsons houses, but since the brewery doesn't brew a regular mild (they are brewing a seasonal mild, Broken Record, but in the Autumn!) so their omission is easily explained.

As can also be seen, this was restricted to Stockport only, with even the South Manchester part of the branch not being represented — How the scope has widened!
