ReplyDeleteMy great grandfather, Samson Harding, was licensee of The Old Ball from 1901-1923. He is reputed to have kept trotting horses in the stables at the rear of the pub and also had a parrot on the bar which he taught to swear at customers!
ReplyDeletethis reminds me of going home from school on oldham rd we would go over the coalpit hills and it brought us out here and the smell of those chips were too much for us ,we hardly ever had spare cash so would put our penny bus fares together and buy three pennoth of chips between us and have to walk it home up smallshaw lane ,
