The Minders Arms, OLDHAM, Greater Manchester

Traditional, small, friendly, three-roomed local, just a few yards from the brewery gates, and the vinegar / pickle works.

Hemmed in by the railway line, and busy dog-leg bridge that takes traffic beneath it.

Tidy, but unremarkable interior with a few period photos of local scenes; to the side is a neat beer garden that makes good use of the cramped space afforded.
