Dave, Howard sold it to a young woman who lived in Ramsbottom She spent a fortune redecorating it. Then after a few months I came past one day and it was all closed up??? I don't know if she overstretched herself??? I asked Howard what had happened, but he didn't know. However the Fish and Chips were SUPERB One fish was big enough for two people.

Thanks Ron, I've always gone there for dinner when the lady converted it they did a wonderful job, as you say fish were a decent size and chips was very good to, she even kept Howard's old staff on such a shame it closed.
