Looking at the Nm thread got me thinking of Wakefield drinking establishments that have now gone, just a few to start with
Old globe
Jacobs tavern
Rescuers (drum & Monkey)
Grove Park
The one that was next to the vine tree?
Spindle Tree
Mitre
Grazers
Out of town (opposite Belle Vue)

Loads of pubs ( and clubs gone ) but not forgotten
Alec in BV
Lib club
Sticky club
Queens
White bear
Bridge
Leopard
Criterion
Crown and anchor
Wheat sheaf
Double six
Star
Brunswick
Fleece
Shepards arms
Little bull
Great bull
That lot without really thinking
Must be hundreds
Recently
Union
Clothiers
Showing my age though

If we're talking boarded up pubs/clubs the list will increase daily. Glad to see vine tree reopened last week

The Black Rock has / used to have, a couple of framed lists of closed down pubs, and that was back in the 70s. 3 more anyhoo,
The Balmoral , Double Up, The Saw.

O was brought up in the Union - my dad was Landlord - until I was 17.

Sad to see it like that, but no-one can make any money out of that site without flattening the pub and re-developing it!

I used to work at the vine tree, and the then landlord Dave Petty ( thoroughly decent fella) used to have a copy of an old document tgat used to list the pubs within tge city limits and it was staggering!!!
And that was more than twenty years ago!!
The pub game us completely on its and tge main blame IMO goes down to the pub company's creaming the off it!!

I also was brought up in pubs my Dad was landlord of the Alec in BV 1965 - 67
I used to serve before games then let off about 3 mins before KO still got in to see the start
Happy Days !!!

There's a website that list most pubs both current and gone....

One that probably wont be missed, Great Expectations (it was a couple of doors down from the back door of the Black Rock).

Jockey.

The Dog and Gun and the Shakespeare

Can't remember the name of the pub (my time of life ), the one at the bottom of Heath common and has completely disappeared. The coach I travelled to matches on in the 60's used to park there.

Jolly Sailor

Had some charactors as licencees there
Madge France
Martin Dale
Not forgetting the one and only Keefy bar man!!

My grandma kept the Jockey in the sixties and seventies.She employed Keefy as a barman for a while.He was a really nice bloke who put up with a lot of abuse in those politically incorrect days.
