Title: Cross Guns Inn, Deane Road, Bolton
Post by: RuslanPashayev on Tuesday 23 January 18 14:06 GMT (UK)
Dear Friends,
I am trying to get in touch with Cross Guns, does anyone know if they have email address or facebook page. I am in America, so those two ways of communication are the most preferable.
Thanks in advance.
Kind regards,
R

I remember the landlady Heather, she ran the pub with her daughter.

in the early 1900's the owner still was Mr. William Snape. He was very famous wrestler.

The pub is only a ten-minute walk to the Bolton Olympic Wrestling club, which opened in the 1920s.
