The Hare and Hounds is a Grade II listed public house on High Street in Uppermill, a village within the Metropolitan Borough of Oldham, Greater Manchester, England. Built in the late 18th century, it has remained a presence in the village centre for more than two hundred years.
History
The building was constructed in the late 18th century, according to its official listing.[1] The 1893 and 1945 Ordnance Survey maps mark the building as an inn, although no name is shown.[2][3]
On 3 July 1986, the Hare and Hounds was designated a Grade II listed building.[1] As of 2023, the pub is owned by Punch Taverns.[4]
Architecture
The building is constructed of dressed stone and has a roof of stone slates laid in graded courses. It has three storeys, three bays, and a plan that extends back from the frontage.[5] The main entrance sits in the centre, with 19th‑century stone‑framed windows on either side. The upper floors each have three windows: two wider ones and a narrower one in the middle.[1] There are shaped brackets at the eaves, corner stones at the edges, and chimneys on the gable ends. Some openings in the gable have been filled in, including a former loading doorway. The rear elevation has windows of a similar style, though part of it is hidden by a later single‑storey brick addition with a flat roof.[5]
