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.

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

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
