Welcome
to "Samuel Oldknow's"
Marple Website Pub Guide.
The Marple Website's
well known Pub Guide underwent a major revamp in 2008 with a new
navigation system tied to the local pub signs and now uses Google Maps
to help visitors to zoom in or out to find their way to each of these
Marple and District establishments.
With the
"retirement" of our previous tour guide, Egbert Mackereth,
we also took the opportunity to rename the guide as a tribute to
Marple's greatest benefactor, Samuel Oldknow.
There wasn't a pub in
Marple called the "Oldknow Arms" at the time but we
was felt there should be! In 2016 this has been corrected and Marple has
it's very own tribute to Sam in The
Samuel Oldknow Bar.
Introduction Our aim is to provide
visitors to this guide with a brief synopsis of each pub. We have tried
to cover all the key information that a person unfamiliar with the area
might wish to know, like opening times, whether food is served, if
children or pets are welcome and if there is any entertainment provided.
We've also included a quick key at the head of each page covering the
features we would expect to be most frequently asked about, using the
following symbols.
We've used Google Maps to
identify the location of each establishment and these allow you to zoom in
and out and drag the maps with your mouse to work out how to find your way
there. You can even switch from "map" view to "satellite"
view, or a "hybrid" of both. These overlay aerial
photographs with the main roads and are not just helpful to find your way
but also great fun to play with!
We no longer rate the pubs
or give our own verdict on each one as we feel that people have different
requirements and expectations and we would encourage everyone to visit at
least once to form your own opinion. However, we will include visitors' POSITIVE
comments on each pub's page. If you would like your comments to be
added you can send them to us by email using
Only positive comments will be
accepted and you must be prepared to have your real name displayed against
them. Anonymous comments will not be accepted and inclusion will be at our
discretion. Landlords and Landladies, feel free to encourage your regulars
and visitors to send in their comments.
We would also encourage
Landlords and Landladies to keep us up-to-date with any changes and to
include their own comments in "What they say about
themselves". This is a great opportunity for you to say something
that may encourage new visitors. We will also feature up to two additional
photographs with captions on each page. Email your corrections, comments
or photographs to
Finally, if you have your own pub web
site and would like us to provide a link to it, then all you need to do is
add a link to www.marple-uk.com on
your own site and then let us know.
