The 200-year-old Waterside pub, which straddled a bridge over the River Irwell in Sumerseat near Bury, collapsed into the water at 9.12am on Boxing Day 2015. No-one was inside the two-storey disused pub at the time. Owais Khan London-based property developer bought the pub in 2002 and left it empty for four years until locals successfully campaigned for it to be reopened after a reportedly £70,000 renovation.
