Yes it is Th'hen Hole. I lived in Delph St for many years and this pub was our local, it was always packed at one time but sadly it's demise is like many pubs today boarded up.

Its more than likely gonna end up like 'The Seven Stars' pub and be knocked down, such a shame that all these lovely buildings with so much character are having to go

Spectre, I understand that it is being converted into shops and flats.

We'd a great Darts & Dominoes club there in the late 60's early 70's. Hard to believe that it's 40 years ago; seems like yesterday.

I remember Brenda running it and then Alan and Dot. It was always a great place. The vault was a mix of old and young. Great darts and doms on a Monday night. Plus the best pint by miles.
