Description

Trish Watt and Krystal Cooper formed THE PURPLETONES in 2014 after having admired each other’s talents for quite some time, appearing on the same bill at various venues.

Their combined experience of live performance is vast and varied and has taken them the length and breadth of the UK and beyond.

The timing was perfect for them to start their collaboration, as they have graced many a stage doing enviable justice to other people’s compositions but now, with the forthcoming release of ‘Escaping Our Souls’, their debut album, they reveal their own incredible song-writing skills and production abilities.

These ‘no holds barred’ tracks journey through cross genre styles with such ease, from the take off of track one to the final track landing. Live, this is one tour de force. This duo define ‘discovered’.

Description

When The Crown was built in 1820 it was set back from the neighbouring buildings because of three poplar trees. These were felled and in 1930 the pub was extended by building forwards to line-up with the adjacent buildings.

Until 1963 it was part of the estate of Clarke’s Reddish brewery. This is one of the few pubs in the area to retain its original multi-room interior and very traditional gents’ toilet.

On entering from the front door a small snug is to the right and a larger, partitioned lounge to the left.

The vault has its own entrance from the passage on the right of the pub. What is now the glass washing area was originally the off-sales.

With floors that are either the original tiles or varnished floorboards, much other original, varnished woodwork and memorials to former patrons adorning the walls, this very traditional drinkers pub has much to recommend it.
