The Railway, Ashton Central, Ashton-Under-Lyne

The Ladysmith is a small bar with an L-shaped serving counter that serves seating up the left and across the rear. Standard keg was available and there was some background music playing. A very forgettable place that I don’t plan to revisit.

A fairly standard corner pub that was friendly enough on this afternoon visit. The bar area was pretty busy first thing in the afternoon. 2 handpumps on the bar serving Brains SA and Abbott.

This is now a keg only pub. Just one opened up room with a few tables and chairs. Most of the clientele seem to prefer vertical drinking. It's a totally nondescript place with no outstanding features and I can't think of anything to say about it really. Service was efficient and the punters loud and raucous in a friendly sort of way. I'll probably nexer call in again.
