Church Inn, Hilton Street

Church Inn, Hilton Street, Broughton. (c) Paul Wilson with posthumous permission.

The Church Inn on Hilton Street North in Broughton has recently closed its doors as a pub for the last time.  Opening in the 1860s, the Church Inn became a Boddington's house in the 1890s, and was modernised by the brewery in 1980 [1].

At some stage the address changed to No.146 Hilton Street North, but the Church survived redevelopment of the area.  Sadly it did not survive the modern pressures put upon inner city pubs of mod-cons, high prices, health scares, the smoking ban, etc.

The Church Inn was up for sale recently and appears to have been taken over by some obscure church group (rather apt), called 'His Presence Assembly'.

Note how its "FREE HOUSE" sign has been cheekily changed to "HIS HOUSE", although they've retained the old Boddingtons bitter sign.

    While Fmovies offered free entertainment, it came with potential risks. Users accessing the platform were exposed to a variety of safety and security concerns. Since Fmovies relied on ads to generate revenue, visitors were bombarded with pop-up ads that could potentially contain malware or lead to malicious websites. This posed a risk to users' devices and personal information.

    Additionally, using Fmovies, or any similar streaming platform, without a virtual private network (VPN) could expose users to legal consequences, as their online activities were not anonymous.
