I was in Leigh last weekend first time since i moved 2003, i go and watch Leigh when i can then drive straight back to Cumbria. But it got me thinking about the change in Leigh and all the pubs that have closed. My local was the Boundary (closed) and a few more of the top of my head, Courts, British Volunteer, (Rubens had some fun in there) Bulls Head, And many many more to many to mention. By the way Shergars was the top place icon_lol.gif , And who remembers the Temprance bars the one in between the two old bus stations and on Railway Road, and Penny Lane Disco. Good times.

Bolton by birth, Irish by blood, LEYTHER by heart and soul!! [quote="BBC Sport":suio7kr3]30/04/06 "Some of W*gan's travelling fans headed towards the exit before it was even over.".................no change there then!![/quote:suio7kr3] [quote="Wembley71":suio7kr3].....They are our people. Drummond, Costello, Manfredi, Svabic, Martyn, Street, Tickle, Patel, Mossop, Horo, Bristow, Leuleui, Varley, Fleary, Rivett, Tabern, Doran, Woods, Donlan, Wilshire, Leaefa, Hansen, Sale, Murphy… these are all my people. As a Leyther, you’re one of us the moment you come here to wear the shirt. I don't care where you were born, what colour you are, what religion you are, what language you speak. You're one of us, part of our culture, writing our history as you create your own, and making us stronger for it....[/quote:suio7kr3]:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_10303.jpg

When I was a lad OK. Pied Bull. Brown Cow across the Road.

Then cross back and it was White Lion' Boars Head ' Queens then Rope and Anchor. Cross the lights to the George and Dragon then the Wolpack. You could crossover to the Eagle and Child and then two other pubs before Leigh Bridge.

I blame the Salvation Army. icon_wink.gif

I was once stood outside the Swan in 1963 waiting for my mate when a chair came flying through the window and hit me on the back of the head , eusa_boohoo.gif

How is education supposed to make me feel smarter? Besides, every time I learn something new, it pushes some old stuff out of my brain. Remember when I took that home winemaking course, and I forgot how to drive?:icons077e_files/4864-863FALH-msnicons.jpg



Not forgetting the Royal Oak and the Live n Let Live.

When I were a lad (1950), my nearest tempy bar was Tommy Sale's! Had my first pint at "Aunties" at Butts Bridge and had some good times in Bomb and Dagger icon_lol.gif
