The original Museum was a beerhouse opened in 1838 by Samuel Walker on Coldhurst street. Purchased by Oldham Brewery in 1878 it was C.P.O in 1973 and the licence was later transferred to the Brighton Hotel on Henshaw Street in 1975 and the name changed to New Museum. It has been closed for several years. One half of it has been converted into a Premier convenience store but the other half remains boarded up and for sale.
