The Royal Oak was there, and was it the Railway?

Twas merely a nipper at the time.

When I was a toddler, I remember the Willow Tree on Heath Lane (Last Shift). Used to wait for the old chap on a Friday evening to come out after a shift in the pit.

The pub was deralict for years. I am sure it was haunted !! icon_eek.gif

The Royal Oak was right on the corner were the jobs place is know and the Live and Let Live was a couple off doors down Twist Ln. Quite a dangerous place to drink the Oak as busses and coal trucks used to crash into it regular.

Was this the one in its last incarnation known as the Moonraker? I can't remember its name before that but Harry Ridgeway was the landlord in the sixties.
