The Ring Of Bells, Ashton Central, Ashton-Under-Lyne

This pub looks like it's on its last legs. They're trying, but it's a tip with wires all over the place and it needs a lot of TLC. Even the pub sign is illegible. There's a small bar to the left as you enter, a lounge area to the right and a further area to the rear. There's also a separate pool room at the back. The tiny beer garden is effectively a dumping ground for old bits of stuff from the pub. There are lots of pottery cottages around the walls and Smooth Radio was being played. There's no real ale, so I had a half of fizz. For whom the bell tolls, it tolls for thee Ring Of Bells.
