Station Hotel / Welcome Inn, Bolton Road

Station Hotel, Bolton Road, Pendlebury, Salford. (c) St Augustines Heritage [1].

Taking its name from the old Pendlebury Railway Station opposite, which closed in 1960 and its island platform removed in 1978, the Station Hotel actually started its life as the Welcome Inn, dating back to 1867.  This closed in 1885 and the a new Welcome Inn was built by the Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway Company.

Walker & Homfrays, then the Empress Brewery and Walkers of Warrington had stakes in the pub but it was rebuilt just before WWII.  As seen from the above aerial view of the site, the Station Hotel (bottom right) backs onto the grounds of St Augustines Church [2].

During the 1960s the Station Hotel and its neighbour, the Wellington, put on comedians and stripper shows and in the '70s the beer on offer was keg Tetley's.  The Station Hotel closed a number of years ago, but is till in use as a licensed premises of sorts - it's now the Isis Restaurant.

  2. I remember going to that shop on the right one or twice a week for sweets after school, a few doors down - St Augustines. I'm not sure but I think the owner was called Wilf. That was the early 70's so I may be wrong.
