The White Hart was still there and looking like a pub - i.e. no 'for sale' or 'to let' signs, no boards on the windows - but it wasn't actually open at 6.00 on a Thursday, which may be a bad sign! The Grey Mare in Charlesworth had a 'To Let' sign up, but I couldn't tell if this referred to the actual pub and not (say) an upstairs flat.Philhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07009879034507926661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5623537812609722663.post-20473567829779884842015-03-28T11:50:12.063+00:002015-03-28T11:50:12.063+00:00@granata - not to my knowledge, although there are...@granata - not to my knowledge, although there are the Windmill and the Dane Bank in the estate on the south side.<br /><br />I was under the impression the Junction was just flats, but happy to be corrected.Curmudgeonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02558747878308766840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5623537812609722663.post-69785813037844548592015-03-28T11:45:47.900+00:002015-03-28T11:45:47.900+00:00Pic of the Centurion here http://manchester-estate...Pic of the Centurion here http://manchester-estate-pubs.blogspot.co.uk/search/label/-%20Hattersley granatahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08551985686564886849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5623537812609722663.post-74068265192177597322015-03-28T11:43:50.070+00:002015-03-28T11:43:50.070+00:00The Junction is a business premises tooThe Junction is a business premises toogranatahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08551985686564886849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5623537812609722663.post-53100906822535382392015-03-28T11:37:57.736+00:002015-03-28T11:37:57.736+00:00Been in 13 of them, all but the Harewood and Gun I...Been in 13 of them, all but the Harewood and Gun Inn closed.

A lot of work has gone on over the last few years to spruce it up there is a lot of green space - there always was, part of the plan. There is more open space these days since they demolished all but one of the tower blocks. You are right about the locations of the Centurion. The Flat Cap was on the corner of JFK road near where the Tesco store is now. I remember it when it was near to the end, trading as the JFK. Very run down and now the site is housing.<br /><br />Looking for some pics of the pubs I found <a href="http://manchester-estate-pubs.blogspot.co.uk/search/label/-%20Hattersley" rel="nofollow">these photos online</a>Phil55494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5623537812609722663.post-45869560886973400952015-03-17T13:13:06.954+00:002015-03-17T13:13:06.954+00:00I had a drive around Hattersley estate this mornin...I had a drive around Hattersley estate this morning – somewhere I had never actually been in thirty years of living in the area. Not as run-down as I had expected – mostly two-storey terraced housing in a very low-density layout with large patches of green in between. The <a href="http://goo.gl/maps/EO0Rb" rel="nofollow">Harehill Tavern</a> (which from the address I think was formerly the Hustage) is still clinging on, but not looking very inviting.<br /><br />Further round, I would guess this vacant lot was the site of <a href="http://goo.gl/maps/37mhZ" rel="nofollow">Centuries</a>, and the <a href="http://goo.gl/maps/SqNZR" rel="nofollow">Four in Hand</a> – a striking piece of 60s pub design attached to a tower block – was boarded up and in a rather sorry state, although still looking open on Google Street View.<br />Curmudgeonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02558747878308766840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5623537812609722663.post-88970910704104827412015-03-16T14:15:11.984+00:002015-03-16T14:15:11.984+00:00@Cookie - all either converted to residential use,...@Cookie - all either converted to residential use, demolished or still derelict.

Gutted to hear about the Cheshire Cheese - I've passed it many times & always thought it looked like a nice little pub. Unfortunately the only thing that ever takes me to Broadbottom is taking my daughter to see her friend in Charlesworth, which obviously isn't easy to combine with pub visiting.Philhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07009879034507926661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5623537812609722663.post-71212199979986125642015-03-15T21:15:18.781+00:002015-03-15T21:15:18.781+00:00Tell us Mudge, when they knocked down these dumps,...Tell us Mudge, when they knocked down these dumps, what better did they build on the spot?Cooking Lagerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02830924433230427226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5623537812609722663.post-73910457156719725632015-03-15T19:52:58.540+00:002015-03-15T19:52:58.540+00:00Its a depressing picture I sampled the other week,...Its a depressing picture I sampled the other week, though a few yards to the west the Cheshire Cheese in Gee Cross is a great survivor whose John Smiths was the best I've had for years.<br /><br />The A628 is so bad now I stay and enjoy the hospitality of Glossop, whose pubs seem to be hanging on.
