The Finishers Arms is a Grade II listed public house on Church Road in Bolton, Greater Manchester, England. Built around 1830, it incorporates an adjoining house from a later phase of development. The building forms part of a group listing with three neighbouring terraced houses and has continued in use as a pub into the 21st century.
History
The building was constructed in about 1830.[1] It appears on the Ordnance Survey map published in 1894 as the Finishers' Arms public house,[2] but neither the presence of a pub nor its name is shown on the subsequent maps issued in 1909,[3] 1929,[4] or 1945.[5]
On 26 April 1974 the Finishers Arms was designated a Grade II listed building, as part of a single listing that also included three adjoining terraced houses (numbers 489–493 Church Road).[1] By 1982 the pub was operating as a Greenall Whitley establishment.[6] Since 2008 the Finishers Arms has been owned and operated independently.[7]
Architecture
The building is constructed of roughly dressed stone laid in regular courses, with a roof covered in stone flags. The pub incorporates an adjoining house that represents a later phase of construction.[1] The frontage has two storeys and four window openings, originally forming two separate small units. The pub entrance is set beside a window with tinted glass, followed by two further windows, the left-hand one having originally been a doorway. Chimneys rise from the end walls.[8]
