Back when I was willing to pay good money to Arriva Trains, myself and a
drinking companion choose to tour Stockport, rather than bother looking
at prices in Manchester. We did manage to get to a fine Holt's building
(Lamb Hotel) in Eccles. Salford was awful, desolate and yet pricey.
Further back, I first went to the Derby Arms, Cheetham Hill when I read
it had the cheapest pint in Britain (Holt's Mild: 86p?).
I don't think I've ever been to Leigh; I see it as a spoon, European
food, and a lot of shutters.
