The Angel Inn Image, as it was previously called, is reputedly the second oldest building in Denton and was first licensed in 1597. From 1818 with the opening of the turnpike between Manchester and Hyde it became a coaching inn. At the turn of the 19th century it was owned by the Openshaw Brewery who were later taken over by Bass. It was significantly renovated in 1971. In 2019 it lost its license due to incidents requiring police intervention. It is now owned by the EI Group and managed by the Craft Union Pub Company. It has re-opened under the name "Old Peg" after the nickname given to Denton's oldest building, St Lawrence's Church https://www.geograph.org.uk/snippet/14475 as depicted on the sign Image
