Bridgewater Hotel, Manchester Road, Hollinwood. (c) Alan Winfield with kind permission.
The Bridgewater stands today at the junction of Manchester Road and Chapel Road in Hollinwood, but this is the modern Joseph Holt's new-build, estate-style carvery pub. The original Bridgewater Hotel was an old Holt's house on this same site at No.197 Manchester Road, as pictured above in the 1980s, with Chapel Road to the left. It opened in 1854 and unfortunately, in the October of that year, a Horatio Mills died when he fell down the stairs of the newly opened pub [1].
