The Pig on the Wall public house, at the corner of Springfield Road and Greenside Lane, was converted from a farm in 1978. It takes its name from an old story that once a year, some of Droylsden’s townsfolk used to watch an annual carnival by bringing a pig and sitting it on a wall to watch the passing entertainment with them.
