In the middle of the St Petersfield development (proclaimed as Ashton's new urban business quarter) stood the Friendship Inn. It was built in 1827 by Thomas Schofield and was the home of the Schofield brewery until it was absorbed by Robinson's. It closed around 2008 and was derelict for several years but it has now been restored and is offices belonging to Pearson, solicitors and financial advisers.
