Thats true its on the junction of Montgomery and Anderton Rd. I often popped in there for a pint when mooching about in the 60's. I haven't been anywhere near it for nearly 40 years.

Here is the description of the Marlborough from the Historic England Listing. It mentions that the pub was built around 1900 and that the Marlborough appears to have been built on the site of a former building, shown on the Ordnance Survey Map of 1890.

Kelly’s Directory may suggest the building could have been the Postal Money Order Office and Savings Bank.

Pedro, that is an excellent link! It explained some of the “grading” that I knew was there but did not comprehend very well.
Thank you!
