Reddit reviews Sale Sale Moor

I've got the same picture in 'Sale and Sale Moor', a local history book (from Waterstones in town, I think, but here's the Amazon link). According to the book, it was originally called the White Lion when it opened in 1806, but was trading as 'The Volunteer' by 1827. In 1897, the owner, Chester's Brewery Company Ltd. acquired the cottage next door and demolished both buildings to make way for the current one. The adjacent, three storey, building was used as a hay-loft for the horses that would be tied up outside the inn.
