City Tavern, Union (Redhill) Street

Union Street, now Redhill Street, was mainly mills, but had a few houses and one beerhouse, on the corner of German Street.  This was the City Tavern which lasted from the 1840s to 1916 when Walker & Homfrays surrendered its licence and it reverted to a house [1].  A car park now sits at this corner of Radium Street and Redhill Street, facing the Rochdale Canal, with much redevelopment work going on around it.
