A pub in Swinton is set to be redeveloped into a chip shop takeaway and a barbershop.
The Weavers Arms permanently closed in September 2024, but plans to turn the ground floor into two separate units, with the flats above left untouched have been approved by Salford City Council.
This comes after redevelopment started on a neighbouring pub on Swinton Hall Road, The Football, which is being turned into nine apartments.
A user on Pubs Galore, Rob Camra said it was: “A decent enough pub, although the carpet could do with changing. A small snug to the left with just two tables, a fruit machine and a giant TV screen.
“In the main room there’s a dartboard and the walls are covered with bland, meaningless prints. Sadly there’s no real ale, but I’ve been in a lot worse pubs. This one isn’t great, but scarily it’s one of the best in Swinton.”
In recent years the pub has had a chequered history, with a number of violent incidents connected to it.
In 2014, two men were attacked by a gang after leaving the pub and two men were arrested on suspicion of assault.
Following this in 2017, two men were stabbed outside the pub during a late night brawl, after being kicked out following an argument.
A woman was stabbed during a fight between two men at the pub in July 2022. She suffered a non-life threatening stab wound.
In the same year, a playground brawl between two mothers continued into the pub, with one woman smashed over the head with a beer bottle and left with a permanent facial scar.
