Stalybridge Station Buffet Bar, and no Q for another pub

This is a timewarp very far removed from St Pancras. They have a good selection of cask beers, but as I was driving I had a coffee, which was large and came on a tray with a jug of milk: a bargain at £1.50.

 

'This Victorian Buffet Bar is unique

and is authentic in detail since

being rebuilt in 1885.

 

Unveiled by Councillor Eileen Shorrock

One of the four rooms.

 

And a few yards down the road is another pub with a blue plaque.

Unfortunately, the pub has now closed down.
