The Reed Hotel is a Grade II listed former public house on Reed Hill in Rochdale, Greater Manchester, England. Built in the late 18th century as a hotel, it operated as a pub until its closure in 2024. Proposals have since been submitted to convert the building to residential use.

History

[edit]

The building was constructed in the late 18th century as a hotel, according to its official listing.[1] The 1893 Ordnance Survey map shows the building but does not indicate a designation or name,[2] while the 1910 edition marks it as a public house but does not attribute a name.[3]

On 12 February 1985, the Reed Hotel was designated a Grade II listed building.[1] The pub closed in April 2024,[4] and a scheme put forward that December proposed converting the building into eight one‑bedroom flats and two two‑bedroom flats across its four floors.[5][6] An accompanying listed building consent application includes changes to the windows on all sides, removal of an external staircase, construction of a single‑storey extension at the rear on the west side, and excavation to create lightwells.[7]

Architecture

[edit]

The building is constructed in brick with stone detailing and has a slate roof. It is arranged two rooms across and two deep, with a doorway in the centre. The front has three bays and rises three storeys above a basement, all beneath a hipped roof.[8] The entrance includes a cast‑iron panel above the door and is framed by pilasters with a small cornice.[1] The ground‑floor corner on the left is rounded, with a shaped stone support carrying the brickwork above, while the right‑hand corner is finished with stone blocks. The windows have stone lintels and sills, and the first floor has a continuous sill band with a blind window in the middle.[8]
