It became the Old Bill in 1995, prior to that it was The Townhouse which was also a restaurant but it also had a separate bar called The Coal Hole underneath, so maybe The Coal Hole is on your database Al?

And of course, way back it was a Police Station, hence the name.

The Old Bill itself is actually an Italian restaurant/bistro, but within it there is a jazz bar called Letsby Avenue.

I'll check it out next time I'm in Oldham to see if it's free to enter and also whether it should really be The Letsby Avenue Jazz Bar @ The Old Bill
or simply Letsby Avenue Jazz Bar.
