The Bulls Head, Swinton

the bulls head is the oldest and nearly the only remaining piece of heritage we have in swinton. there are several pieces of interesting history surround the bulls head for example being used as a watch tower to catch grave robbers, the secret tunnel leading from the pub to the church and then to the school and aparently it carried on to the old looney asylum, rouges where placed into stocks that were over the road so the pub was used for entertainment purposes. the pub gets its name from when it was used for bull baiting. there has been several seances held here and ghostly apparitions developed on photos not suprising considring the history, yet although i am only 26 and do like my weekends out i refuse to go into this pub and watch our heritage being wrecked and given an appaling name due to the little scallies and scrubbers. it might aswell be called the bulls head kindergarten. stay away!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
