'This is another exciting milestone'
A council project to beautify the entrance into Oldham has made progress after a month of delays. The passage between Oldham bus station and the town’s high street once consisted of a ‘dingy alleyway’ next to the Snipe Inn pub on Henshaw Street.
Council boss Arooj Shah said: “This is another exciting milestone in transforming the town centre and making it an even better place to visit, work, study and live.“We are creating a town centre that is clean, green and easier to get around. The demolition of the Snipe Inn is the next major phase of these works and will create a welcoming public space and entrance to the town centre from the bus station.
A number of residents have commented on the beautifying changes in Oldham town centres. But others have mourned the loss of Snipe Inn, calling its demolition “the end of an era”. Lesley Ashton, who worked at the pub in the late 80s and early 90s, said she was ‘sad to see’ the pub go and had ‘happy memories of working there’.
