didn't two old women run the colliers? beer was served from large tin jugs.

Loads in Failsworth Barcon, amazes me how they keep a darts and crib league going.

There's loads gone in Failsworth. That's a Domino's Pizza place now.

Guido, Bulls Head, Cloggers, Half Way House, Forresters, Brown Cow, Bridge. The Pack Horse is For Sale. In fact there's load gone on Oldham Road and the first pub out of town is probably The Lamb now.

As for the OP I didn't know The Colliers as a pub, when did that close? Would have loved to go in there after a walk to Harthead Pike. I can tell where it is from the picture and the Horse and Jockey I cycle up Standedge Road a lot (bloody long hill) and that is still standing in that state of disrepair.

That's right Bill.

They were about 90 and wore shawls......

You actually sat in their living room which was about 10 foot square and drank your real ale, whilst they did their ironing........:)

Another good one (Still going) is the Three Stags Heads just past Peak Forest on the Chesterfield Road.

I used to frequent the Horse and Jockey in the mid seventies, it was a thriving pub, usually packed, with a landlord that looked like Hugh Bonneville from Downton Abbey. There was always a nice blazing fire waiting for you...it's criminal that places like that have gone.

I suspect Drink Driving laws and being on protected water board land killed it off......
