Boars Head

The Boars Head at Higher Poynton is a replacement for an earlier building that still stands, albeit much altered, across the road to the right of this shot. This version was built c1904 and reflects the level of custom that must have been available at the time when the local collieries were still hard at work and the railway station stood just opposite. The building in the right background is a stables which were part of the pub property. The ivy covers the sealed doorway that once gave access directly into the public bar.
