🍺 John Bull Chophouse

The John Bull Chophouse is a Grade II listed public house on Coopers Row in Wigan, Greater Manchester, England. Thought to date from the 17th or early 18th century, it was possibly formed from two cottages and a stable and is also recorded as having served as a slaughterhouse at an unknown date. Ordnance Survey maps of 1894 and 1942 show the now‑combined building as three separate domestic properties, indicating it was not then in use as a pub. The site was included in the Wigan Town Centre conservation area in 1980, and as of March 2026, the freehold is owned by Thwaites Brewery. In August 2026, the pub was badly damaged by fire, and Thwaites stated that it would be restored to its pre‑fire condition.
