The Sedge Lynn

This Wetherspoon pub was originally a billiard hall, built, in c1907, on a field sandwiched between a house called Sedge Lynn (demolished to make way for a cinema) and Red Gate Farm.

Now a Grade II listed building, it was originally a Billiards Hall built by the Temperance Hall Billiard Company. Several such halls were built in and around Manchester and South London, to remove billiards from its normal setting of the public house and to further the aims of the Temperance Movement.
