An historic pub which fell into disrepair after closing its doors three years ago is to be knocked down and replaced with a ‘like for like’ boozer. The Three Arrows Inn - at the junction of Pilsworth Road and Moss Hall Road, in Heywood - has been blighted by vandalism since calling last orders in 2019.
But the now-derelict watering hole, which dates from 1840 or even earlier, is set for a resurrection of sorts. Russell Homes has lodged plans to demolish the building, on the edge of the town’s industrial estates, and create a new establishment on the one-acre plot.
The former pub site is just 600m away from the proposed South Heywood Development, where the developer plans to build 1,000 homes over the next 15 to 20 years. Russell Homes says it is keen to secure approval for a replacement pub and proceed with demolition ‘as soon as possible’, as vandals continue to target the building.
