Pubs That Have Been Changed Into Something Else

Featured Replies

I've noticed that quite a few pubs over my side of Bolton have gone. For me it's another part of England losing it's identity. There are probably a lot more, but for starters:

 

The Willows, Bradshaw = India Gate restaurant

The lamb, Bradshaw = Dine restaurant

The Nab Gate, Harwood = Baci restaurant

The Royal oak, Bradshaw = Latino lounge restaurant

The volunteer, Bromley x = Green Bengal restaurant

Think you've been told to stay away from Horwich by NB already.
