The Hooly Bush Tap room LHS

The Holly Bush Inn is one of the oldest pubs in the country dating back to the 17th Century. The Inn and Barns Accommodation are situated in the Bartington Green Conservation area near to Acton Bridge. The area covers only 2.04 hectares and is the smallest conservation area in the Vale Royal Borough. There is a Grade II listing on the barn and pub, which was previously a working farm. The Holly Bush is a privately owned public house since 1993.

When we were lads we used to walk to this pub in the 70's and then the beer was poured out of a big pitcher brought up from the cellar.
The door on the left reads "Tap Room" a blast from the past
