Pub history
This pub is named after Urmston’s much-acclaimed 18th-century dialect poet John Collier (alias Tim Bobbin). Born in 1708, the son of a local curate and schoolteacher, Collier began his working life as a weaver, later becoming a teacher and writer. In most of his books, Tim Bobbin was the main character, and Collier used Bobbin as a pseudonym throughout his career.
