Hydes Brewery has re-opened the doors of its popular Stockport pub, The Nursery Inn, following a £250,000 refurbishment, inside and out.

The exterior also includes an immaculately maintained and well-used bowling green, which is home to several teams. 

The pub has an unusual sporting claim to fame, having been the first headquarters of Stockport County AFC, when the club’s ground was nearby in the late 1800s.

This latest refurbishment forms part of an ongoing multi-million investment programme across the Hydes’ estate. Over the last two years, Hydes has committed more than £10m to upgrading pubs across its estate and intends to continue with supporting and investing in its pubs throughout 2025.

“The Nursery Inn is a great pub of historical and sporting significance, and continues to go from strength to strength,” said Hydes’ managing director, Adam Mayers.

“The refurbishment is respectful of the pub’s original character and intricate features, requiring a delicate and fully considered approach from our dedicated team of design and build specialists.

“It’s great to see it re-open having undergone such a sensitive refurb, fully retaining the heritage of the building, which is very important to us and our customers.”
