The Sporting Arms originally restricted to selling beer was granted an extended licence in 1896 when new premises were built next to the original pub on Denton Road. In 1901 it was described as 'having a well-fitted bar divided into general, select and family compartments, with three entrances; a smoke room and a kitchen; ample cellarage in the basement; and six rooms on the upper five streets'. The pub was bought by Cameron's for £3500 in 1922 was extended in 1939 and received a full publican's licence in 1949. In 1957 there were some internal rearrangement which removed the bottle and jug department.
