The old Tram Terminus at Nether Edge ( early 1900's ).  On the right you can see Hay's and Sons (now Threshers). There has obviously been an Off Licence at that spot for over a century.

An entire to the Rev Alexander Mackenzie dated 1816. 

Rev. Mackenzie was minister at St. Paul's Church in Pinstone St. He lived at Sharrow Head and built the Stag Hotel in 1805 to replace a much older inn (which he bought and had pulled down) The building, at that time, was at the end of his garden.  The new inn was named 'The Stag's Head' which was the crest of the Mackenzie family. He let the inn to a Robert Marples.

The old house at Sharrow Head had the date of 1664 in the lintel stone, but the old inn was probably not built until the road was turnpiked around 1758...although being on an old salt-way it could have been earlier.
