Off Victoria Street.

Sign for the Brook Tavern Image

This pub on Gladstone Street I expected to see closed-down and converted to a house. Instead I find it rebranded with an Irish Theme. For many years this was a Boddingtons pub called The Victoria Vaults. All the locals however knew it as "The Spara's" after a long-left landlord called Sparrow. Perhaps about eight years ago it was renamed "The Sparrows" with a suitable sign portraying a male passer domesticus but within the last two it has become Flanagan's.

On the right is The Brook Tavern Image Until recently it was The Last Orders Image It was originally the Albion Inn and subsequently the "Albion Hotel", "The Trap" and the "Market Tavern". Below that is Glossop Cafeteria and the Glossop Pizza. On the left is "The Balti Palace" which claims to have won "Curry Chef of the Year 2015".
