The Old Grey Mare, Oldham

Let's start with a trio of pubs within a mile of each other on Rochdale Road in Oldham. First up is:

UPDATE: The Old Grey Mare has been closed since June 2017. There is still a notice outside offering a new lease. 
UPDATE 2022: The Old Grey Mare is now an Indian restaurant. It used to be the 'go to' pub for away supporters who were going to a match at Oldham Athletic Football ground. I have not heard which pub the away fans go to now.
