Every time i go in the Kings Head it looks like it is in the progress of being Demolished anyhow!!

I went into the Kings Head once last season for the 1st time ever.
As I left I told myself it would a long time before I went there again. My feet were actually sticking to the floor as I walked, the last time that happened to me was in the very early 1980's at Tracy's Nightclub behind where Mcdonalds in Bridge street is now.

may as well knock the kings head down while they're at it.

There used to be a "jazz" shop there too. It had a classy hand painted sign on the wall- "XXX vids" " entrance at rear"

There was always a dog that went mental any time you parked anywhere near it and all.

Used to go in to the King's Head to watch the Escape Committee play when they used to gig in there. Wouldn't go in there for any other reason I'm sorry to say.

I used to watch the Escape committee too, went in there a month ago out with mates on a Friday and asked what group was on, reply was not been one on for a year, so supped up and went elsewhere!

did'nt have to go behind the Kings Head

the council have had a nasty habit of " accidently" knocking down listed buildings over the years. School Brow was another.

Winwick st is an absolute eyesore, the council spent thousands and years getting rid of that texstile place, and have just left it to be a carpark. We had plans, for hotels, shopping centre, houses, cinema, yet, are left with a car-park.
Same on the old Lockers site, yup, all of the above, and now we have a carpark. Now, the council have come up with plans to develop a " waterfront" I could gladly bet my mortgage that, that too, will become a carpark.

I probably won't be the only one to admit, bulldozing that place would probably do the town a favour.

Might cut down under-age drinking too... Not that for one second, I am saying the two are linked.

Isn't that the pub the Wigan fans usually get grief from?

Who is Modus?

I don't think I've ever been in, it's not for want of trying, it's just always chocker. The bar looks like when a UN Convoy arrives somewhere packed full of Uncle Bens.

teh newsagent next door used to sell some right specialist magazines.
