Yate's Oldham was the 1st one,as nev said it closed years ago and relocated up the street...not heard of top drum but the father in law will know it well..i know the flying horse at the back of the Rochdale town hall,think it changed its name a few times and has now gone back to the flying horse i believe,not been in there for over 10yrs..

Lovely old pic Bob. Reminds me of Dukinfield in the 1940s. I must be getting old...
