Chapel House Hotel


Last week I showed you views of St Thomas, Heaton Chapel.

In 1822 a pub was built across the road and was called The Chapel House.

The original pub was rebuilt in 1889 and named Chapel House Hotel.

This was purchased by Bass of Burton in 1921.

It was later known as Tut n Shive, and then Conors until the police closed it down around 2009.

Subsequently the building became a Tesco Extra supermarket before being closed again in 2015.
