I have a local history book called 'Pubs of Swinton and Pendlebury', my home town. I haven't counted but I reckon there must be more than 50 listed. We are now down to less than 20! (boohoo:() A lot were there within my memory even if I was not old enogh to go in.

No point really... Just goes to show things are changing everywhere and have been for a long time. Somtimes for the better but more often for the worse....

Cheers
