Demolition of the New Inn
The New Inn SJ9795 : New Inn on Mottram Road is being converted to residential use. It is a former Robinson's Inn by the side of the A57 road from Liverpool to Lincoln.
There may have been an inn on the site since the 1600s and it was known as a highwayman's inn. There are tales of it being haunted by a ghost named Mary.
However the New Inn was first licensed around 1856 with Robert Turner being the first Innkeeper.
William F Gratton was the landlord in the 1930s. Between 1927 and 1930 there were sixteen serious accidents on this stretch of road that were attributed to a "Phantom Lorry". Link
A lorry later featured in the Inn sign SJ9795 : New Inn Sign.
It was the local of the Moors Murderers, Brady & Hindley whose house on Wardlebrook Avenue was behind the Inn. Their house SJ9795 : Wardle Brook Avenue, Hattersley was demolished many years ago.
A later landlord was the father of boxer Ricky Hatton who was brought up in the New Inn. Part of the celler was used as a gymnasium.
