The Ram was an estate-style Tetley's pub built on the site of an original Ram, which stood next to the Empress Electric Theatre on the main Oldham Road, Miles Platting.  Like its earlier incarnation, the Ram was practically built onto the side of the Empress.

The new Ram was built in the late 1960s and is pictured at the archives in the late '60s and 1970.  The new Ram didn't last too long and was replaced by a petrol station, which itself has been more recently erased from the landscape along with the Empress.
