COMEDIAN and actor Steve Coogan has sent a touching letter to a pub in Greater Manchester that once served as his local.
The 58-year-old performer, who originally hails from Middleton, wrote to The Roebuck pub in Alkrington after it reopened last month following a major £1m revamp and a name change back to its original.
As part of an aim to become embedded back into the local community, the pub reclaimed its original 1960s name after being renamed as the Thornberries pub for some time.
Described by locals as a ‘people’s pub’, the refurbishment of the venue features a new indoor wraparound bar, a stunning beer garden and a spacious private function room.
