THE COMMUNITY LOCAL AWARD

The Bridge Inn

The Community Local Award is given in memory of Joe Goodwin, a former chair of CAMRA who championed the “street-corner local” as a focus for the community.

This year’s winner, the Bridge Inn in Horwich, near Bolton, was rundown when bought by the current owners.

It has been totally refurbished, with the paint chosen for the walls and woodwork allowing the original tiles to be properly appreciated.

A function room on the first floor is now back in use, too.
