A pub just miles south of Manchester was once a place where criminals on death row would go to eat their last meal. According to the landlord of the Dun Cow, in Knutsford, the pub has a colourful history, being one of the only stop off points between Macclesfield and Knutsford for those due to be hanged.
In modern times, for a great meal and an insight into some fascinating Cheshire history, the Dun Cow pub is well worth a visit. Anyone enjoying their dinner here won't be having their last meal before facing the executioner, but that was once the gruesome norm for this old building, according to its landlord.
CheshireLive paid a visit last week and found a full car park and plenty of customers ready to sample the menu. The pub is child-friendly and also welcomes well-behaved dogs.
