| It's open again. I'm not sure if it's supposed to be a pub, a social club, a dancefloor or someone's front room. Maybe my drinks were spiked with mad hallucenogenics or something. Which for £2.50 a pint is exceedingly good value. I'll rate it a 4 as while it achieved the primary objective (getting beers in before rangers) I left feeling ever so slightly soiled. random_ranger - 23 May 2008 17:00 |
| This place was always without windows. No sooner were they replaced when somebody would smash them again. Passed by recently and i had to be told it was closed down. It may be all boarded up but it always was. Some very rough locals but plenty of great people in the area too. Shame for them they're local pub is now gone. I would love to see it re-opened but can't say i can see that happening spotcheck - 23 Apr 2007 19:42 |
| was summit in the local paper recently. They tried to turn the pub into an Islamic prayer room, but the 75-year lease states that it must be a drinking establishment! not sure whats happening with the pub now. tim.charles - 29 Jul 2006 15:28 |
| Agree with Steve - looks like a nasty estate pub from the outside, but inside there is no problem. It was closed down for a while but reopened without having had a refit, by the look of it. beeronaut - 4 Jun 2005 15:00 |
| Just wanted to say my grandparents lived opposite this pub and I can remember it when it was was always full. It was also used for filming tv shows by the bbc. The last time I went past there was about two years ago and looked derelict which was a shame. They used to have a real good singsong back in the sixties. Or so I'm told, I was one of the kids sat on the step with a Tizer and a packet of crisps. Happy times. anonymous - 4 May 2005 19:48 |
