The Cross Keys was the oldest public house in Eccles and has an interesting design due to its evolution over 400 years, comprising timber framed elements. The larger extended wing of the building (into St Mary’s churchyard) follows the angle of the street and gives a rare impression of the early character of Eccles, with narrow streets". It closed in 2013. Plans are afoot to convert it into flats.
