The Blazing Rag
On George Street in Top Mossley. It opened in 1856 as a beerhouse called "The Welcome Return".
It did not become fully licensed until 1960. In 1986 the pub was renamed "The Blazing Rag", although that had in fact been its nickname for many years. The pub had been popular with followers of the sport of dog trailing, in which a rag soaked in aniseed was dragged along the ground creating a trail for the dogs to follow, as dogs are particularly keen on the scent. When the hunt was over it was the practice to throw the rag onto the fire in the bar, giving rise to the nickname "The Blazing Rag", or just "The Rag". The pub is one of the locations for the performance of the Mossley Pace Egg Play every Easter Monday.

Top Mossley
There is a confusing amount of signs and street furniture at this major junction in Top Mossley. The through route from left to right is the A670 from Ashton to Uppermill. Traffic in the opposite direction veers left (photographer's right) into Stamford Street as a one-way system operates. The road to the left at the lights leads to Lees and a right turn at the lights leads to Bottom Mossley.
