The Stamford Arms is a Grade II listed public house on Huddersfield Road in Carrbrook, a village east of Stalybridge in Tameside, Greater Manchester, England. Built in the mid-18th century and extended in the 19th century, it is shown as the Stamford Arms pub on the 1875 and 1935 Ordnance Survey maps. As of 2026, its freehold is owned by Thwaites Brewery.
History
The building was constructed in the mid-18th century, according to its official listing, with additions made in the 19th century.[1] The 1875 and 1935 Ordnance Survey maps mark the building as the Stamford Arms public house.[2][3]
On 6 February 1986, the Stamford Arms was designated a Grade II listed building.[1] As of 2026, the pub's freehold is owned by Thwaites Brewery.[4]
Architecture
The building is constructed of stone with a slate roof and a brick chimney.[1] It has three storeys, arranged in two bays and set out in a double-depth plan, with a former barn attached on the left and a 19th‑century single‑bay addition on the right.[5] There are lean‑to structures at the rear and a small brick extension.[1]
The original part of the house has a central doorway and multi‑paned stone‑framed windows on each floor, set back slightly on the lower two levels.[1] The barn includes a former cart entrance with a curved head and another doorway beside it, both now filled in.[1] A later two‑bay frontage for pub use was added on the right, with a central door, four windows with simple stone details and modern frames, and a hipped roof.[5]
Interior
The main bar has low ceilings with exposed beams.[4] At the front, the windows contain stained glass showing the Stamford family arms, while the lower windows at the back reflect the style of older buildings in the area.[5] What were once two separate front rooms have been combined to form a single, larger bar space.[4]
