POTS Winter 2024 Northumberland Arms 1 800w

 

This is already a special pub in the High Peak, Tameside and North East Cheshire CAMRA branch area. It is the only community owned pub. Originally a Robinson’s house it was put up for sale in January 2017. It was successfully listed as an asset of community value. A Community Benefit Society was set up and raised enough money to buy the pub by the end of Sept 2017.

There are 5 handpumps serving 3 or more ales including Track Sonoma and Robinson’s Unicorn alongside other, generally local, ales and a dark beer.
