The Old Thirteenth Cheshire Astley Volunteer Rifleman Corps Inn was situated at 48 Astley Street. This pub closed c2015. Starting life as a beerhouse, The New Inn, it became The Thirteenth Mounted Cheshire Rifleman Inn and as such entered the Guinness Book Of Records as the UK pub with the longest name. After losing the accolade to another pub, the name was lengthened in order to reclaim it. Stalybridge also had the pub with the shortest name.

Reopened in June 2019.
