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



What about the Lord Nelson on Bradshawgate, I was never old enough to go in but can remember it being there.

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

" Time is but a flowing stream". Pedro. Higherfold Cockey Pond. 1973. You can shout for silence, but boots worn all day will always hum.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_28343.gif



The one that became the insurance place was it not the grenadier? Or something like that. I seem to remember it having an old soldier on the sign

I understood it was going to be a menswear shop. The people who have the menswear shop next to the Globe bought it before it closed down.

I remember the pub it was next to the Brown Cow and had a black brick front with very low window sills.

Sorry can't remember the name though although it was a Tetley pub (not that smooth flow crap).

Whilst I do not suffer fools gladly, I will always gladly make fools suffer Comment is free, but facts are sacred. - C. P. Scott That's the problem with opinions, everyone's got one....That's the good thing about opinions, everyone's got one:



Early days Bottom Bridge, Top Bridge, Live & Let Live, Woolpack

Late teens, White Horse, George & Dragon, Pied Bull, Courts, Globe, Eagle & Child, Woolpack - Penny Lane or Casino

Whenever I go back these days Boars Head

Those are the regular ones, I've been in most of the others mentioned and more besides...hic

You are quite right Frank. the Brown Cow was lower down, and the one we are thinking of was a dirty brick frontage, next door to Doctor Schwartzburg's surgery.
