Title: Sharman Arms pub @ Bolton
Post by: sherlock1207 on Saturday 07 April 07 07:26 BST (UK)

I would like to see a photograph of the Sharman Arms public house at 218 Halliwell Road, Halliwell, Bolton and a close-up of the pub's sign. If anyone who reads this could oblige and send it to me at  *, I would be most grateful.

Thank you.
Robin Sharman,
Nottinghamshire.

Hi Robin, have you tried the Bolton Evening News web site??  They have a fantastic 'Looking Back' section of old photos.  You can also e-mail them with a request for a photo.  There's also the museum which have a brilliant collection of old photos.   Also, try thisisbolton.com  they will do searches for you for old photos


Good luck

Barbara

Hi Migky

I googled Sharman Arms and it came up with a guide to pubs and Sharman Arms was one of them.  It appeared to be a popular place.

Are you from Bolton??   I'm an ex Boltonian  from way back   ;D

Thanks for this folks. The Sharman Arms must be a homage to the defunct brewery. I'd still like to see photos of the pub and its sign if anyone with a digital camera happens to be in the area.

Dear Robin

I'll head over to Halliwell Rd (hopefully this weekend) and take a picture for you.

Best wishes

Thank you so much for the photos. I'm really grateful. I had hoped that the sign would be a coat of arms, but never mind, eh? If ever I get up that way, I'll go to see it for myself.

Hi Robin,

I have some photos of pubs owned by the Sharman brewery but I suspect I would be in breach of copyright to send them.
There is a full set of photos of the pubs (and their valuation) owned by the brewery in the Walker archive in Liverpool - dating from when the brewery was sold.
I also have a photo of the brewery itself (only in the background) courtesy of the Halliwell Local History Society.

The brewery was founded by my g.grandfather, who started life mining aged 8 in Derbyshire and moved to Bolton to make his fortune (!!!). He died a rich man.
