The Foresters Arms, Shevington Moor


The Foresters Arms, Shevington Moor
A map of 1850 shows a pub on this site as being The Rose & Crown, by 1870 the name had changed to The Forester's Arms due to its connections with the Ancient Order of Foresters, a friendly society with roots dating back to the 18th Century.
The pub in its current form was largely rebuilt in 1907, the extension on the side being a more modern addition when the pubs focus changed more towards serving food.

It's Nice to see a lovely Shevington Moor pub on Wiganworld PADs thank you so much Colin.
100 yards further up there used to be a shop and across the road from that was a chippy.

A gorgeous building full of character and charm, a friendly warm and cosy atmosphere and in Shevington. Nice one Colin.

Looks a nice welcoming pub and so much original, if the beer is as good as the building, the locals can't go wrong.

Shevy is blessed with some lovely pubs, but this one has it all, best pub, best beer and of course friendly people.
Well done Colin, good photo.

A nice photo, Colin. Thankyou. I like red-brick buildings and it looks a pleasant pub.

My apologies Colin if TWO comments from me appear.....I added one but when I pressed "submit", something went wrong and I'm not sure my comment went ahead. It was just to say it's a nice picture....I like red-brick buildings and it looks a pleasant pub. Thankyou.
