The Ring O'Bells, St Leonard's Square
The Ring o’ Bells is reputed to be one of the oldest buildings in Middleton; historically, the pub’s foundations are thought to date back to Saxon times.
The pub is said to be haunted by the ghost of a sad Cavalier known as Edward, and by poltergeists. According to "The Middleton Heritage Trail" leaflet (www.middleton-heritage-trail.org.uk ) the ghost is said to throw stones, glasses and other objects around the bar while its footsteps have been heard around the pub.
