00:00I went to the Greater Manchester Pub of the Year 2024.

00:04The Northumberland Arms is a completely community-owned pub in Marple Bridge, Stockport.

00:12Originally built in 1824, 200 years ago, by the Duke of Norfolk,

00:17the Thumb has been a community pub since 2017, after Robinson's Brewery retired its tenor.

00:25The establishment has been a key part of the community,

00:29often hosting events and raising funds for charity.

00:35The pride of the pub is its beautiful beer garden,

00:38which is found at the back of the pub, next to the bar.

00:44As well as good pints, the pub offers darts and pool,

00:48perfect for when you're waiting for the game to come on.
