Bolton pub given bright makeover in £150k revamp featuring street art mural and huge TV screens

A year ago, it’s likely that most people would have driven or walked past The Grey Man pub in Daisy Hill without as much as a second glance. Now, that is almost impossible to imagine.

The pub, located on Hindley Road in Westhoughton on the outskirts of Bolton, has recently undergone a huge £150,000 renovation that has seen it stripped of its outdated decor and given a bright and bold makeover both inside and out.

Now operated by Blind Tiger Inn and Star Pubs, which marks their 19th venue together, the pub aims to become a premium spot for locals to enjoy sports on a range of HD screens as well as live entertainment on a new stage area.
