The Grant Arms Hotel

What happened after

Grade II listed former hotel building at 11 Market Place; pubsgalore.co.uk lists it explicitly as closed as of a 2018-11-04 status note, corroborated by a May 2018 Bury Times article about demolition plans for sheltered housing.

Closure date on record: 2018

What happened on the show

Alex Polizzi went to Ramsbottom in Greater Manchester in series 11 to transform the Grant Arms, a fourteen-bedroom nineteenth-century listed building. A historic town-centre inn of that age carries both the appeal and the upkeep burden that come with a protected structure, and the episode set Polizzi the task of turning around a struggling property with genuine heritage. The summary is brief on the specific failings, so the honest frame is verifiable rather than reconstructed: a listed Ramsbottom hotel in difficulty that called in the inspector during her eleventh series in 2015. The bones of the building were an asset; converting that into a viable trade was the challenge she was there to meet. The listed Ramsbottom inn aired in May 2015 under an owner named Charlotte, a few years before its second and apparently final closure in 2018.

After the cameras left

The Grant Arms has closed. The Grade II listed former hotel at 11 Market Place in Ramsbottom is recorded as closed on the pub-listing site pubsgalore.co.uk with a status note dated November 2018, corroborated by a Bury Times report that year on plans to demolish the structure for sheltered housing. Notably, the property had closed once before, around 2008, then reopened under an owner named Charlotte by the time of the 2015 episode, before this second, apparently final shutdown. The closure year of 2018 is approximate, held at medium confidence given the partly search-based evidence chain.
