The Lower Chequer, Sandbach
The pub gets its name by contrast with the Swan and Chequer, higher up the hill at the west end of the High Street. This was my father's "local" for many years.
The pub is grade 2 listed (list entry 1130388); the listing describes it as "Late C16 or early C17 but much altered and restored and retaining few original features" with the half-timbering being a modern imitation rather than part of the original structure.

View from pub to church
The epitome of an English summer afternoon: sat in a pub beer garden, listening to the church bells being rung for a wedding. The pub is the Lower Chequer Image and the church St Mary's, Sandbach Image

The Lower Chequer, Sandbach
Since my previous photo seven years earlier Image the pub has changed ownership; from the outside not much has changed other than removal of ivy and a new inn sign Image
The pub is grade 2 listed (list entry 1130388); the listing describes it as "Late C16 or early C17 but much altered and restored and retaining few original features" with the half-timbering being a modern imitation rather than part of the original structure.

The Lower Chequer, Sandbach - inn sign
In the last few years the pub Image has been bought by Joules Brewery who now describe it as a "craft beer bar". The new sign keeps the historical associations of the pub's name as a counting house.
