Two Hundred, Carisbrook Street

The Two Hundred, or Boddingtons 200 as it was first known on opening in the late 1970s, was unsurprisingly, a Boddies pub.  A rather grim-looking estate boozer, it was so-named as it was Boddingtons' 200th pub, and the council estate here just off Rochdale Road is still known as the "200 Estate".

The Two Hundred has been closed for a number of years and for while appeared to be owned by the notorious Des Noonan after it had closed as boozer.  Despite the state of its rear in 2012, new windows were being put in during August 2013 so perhaps a new lease of life awaits for what was once "one of Boddingtons better new pubs [1].
