| A description given from memory by a relative of one of the 'Mine Hosts' said - "It wasn't very big; it was of Accrington brick construction with a rather attractive terracotta window surround, and the words "Sitting Goose" also moulded in terracotta. In this photograph, the terracotta tiles appear to have been painted over, doing them a total injustice!" |

The Sitting Goose, North Road, owned by Groves and Whitnall, brewers, Salford, and tenanted by William Gardner, was opposed. Mr. Parker appeared in support of the license.
It was admitted that the tenant was highly respectable, and the house was clean and well conducted, but the police said that the house was not required for the neighbourhood.
