The ghost of the Unity
The Unity Inn SJ9494 : Unity Inn closed in 2011 and has since been converted into housing. If you look carefully above the bricked-up doorway the ghost sign:
UNITY
INN
Robinsons
can just be made out.
Originally a bakehouse by 1869 it had become a beerhouse. It gained the sign the "Unity" in 1880 when James Barraclough kept the house due it being congregated by people from different walks of life. It was once popular with actors from the Theatre Royal. It only got a full licence in 1962 and at the time of its closure was a Robinsons' pub.
