The building was first mentioned in 1744 as belonging to surgeon Dr.Briscall's practice, which gave free consultations and was effectively the forerunner to Stockport infirmary. The present building dates from the 19th century. In the early 21st century the pub was renowned as a music venue but closed in 2009.
