Front Right Left Room. by Michael Slaughter

An excellent, unspoilt local, the interior incorporates a vault, front lounge and very cosy snug around the central bar. Given a makeover by Robinson's in 2012 turning it into one of their ‘Ale Shrine’ pubs, giving it a striking decor and an air of elegance. At the rear the now disused cobbled street sports benches for outside drinking, whilst ingeniously the former outside gents toilet is now the smoking area. A large function room is to be found upstairs. This pub is one of the real ale highlights of Stockport offering superb examples of the Robinson's ales on offer. Built as a coaching house in the 18th century, The Blossoms is reported to be an exit place for an escape tunnel from Bramall Hall and was used for the planning meetings when designing St Georges Church, located a short walk along the A6. The pub has excellent service, a warm friendly atmosphere and is well worth a visit. When available, the Trooper beer alternates bar space with Double Hop.

Historic Interest

Built as a coaching house in the 18th century, Acquired by Frederic Robinson with the purchase of the Hempshaw Brook Brewery of Bell & Co, in June 1949.

Two star - A pub interior of very special national historic interest

Listed status: Not listed

A landmark pub originally built in 1824. It was later given a traditional layout of a central lobby and three rooms leading off, its unspoilt interior owing much to the long-serving licensee from 1942 to 1967, Mary Body. A passage leads to the lobby bar (the servery fittings are probably quite modern). On the right is the vault (now pool room) with vintage fixed seating and stained glass windows. On the left is a small room with more stained glass windows and a couple of old settles. The smoke room (rear left) still has vintage seating (with traces of bell-pushes), a hatch to the servery and more stained glazing. Function room upstairs.

General information about historic pub interiors

Early 19th century building which retains its original plan form with lobby and three rooms off. Bells Brewery pub. Built 1824 on what was 'Blossoms Hill. Its little-altered interior owes much to the long-serving licensee Mary Body from 1942 to 1967. A passage from the front door leads to the lobby bar with a curved counter that looks similar to a 1950s design but it has a modern top and the bar back fitting looks modern. On the front right is the vault now with a pool table. It retains its original fixed seating in two sections, splendid coloured glass windows but has lost a fireplace and the floor has a modern lino tiled floor.

On the front left is a small room with door, more coloured leaded glass windows, a couple of antique settles but no fixed seating. At the rear left is the smoke room which is pretty much intactl intact vintage fixed seating all around with signs of bell pushes, a tiled (modern) and elaborately carved fireplace, service from a hatch to bar, stained glass window and tables which look very old. Modernised toilets. Function room upstairs.
