Woolpack Inn, Birch Street, Heywood, Rochdale, Greater Manchester

Formerly a Phoenix Brewery Co. Ltd (Heywood) house. The pub is close to the site of Brierley's Woolpack Brewery Ltd, which Phoenix took over in 1898. The pub appears to be a new-build by Phoenix in the early 20th century, and was presumably named after the Woolpack Brewery.

A brewery is recorded at the pub in 1868, then James Brierley in 1890, before he established his brewery at Mount Street.
