| Way back in the 70s, I and a lot of my peers used to effectively have 3 locals. Here, The Bowling Green across the road and The Albert (now closed). It�s not 30 years since I was last in here, but it�s probably over 10. I even remember playing pool against a young Lisa Stansfield (namedropper) in here years ago (she won). Sadly this pubs heyday has long gone and the slide has been dramatic. There are two large rooms, both getting a bit shabby. The one on the left is the lounge and was packed to the gills with four people last night. To the right is the tap room with a pool table and dart board. There was no-one in here at all last night. There are two handpumps but only Lee�s bitter available. The barmaid asked the landlord if this had been pulled through yet, he said no, it was about 8:15 and they were just serving their first pint of cask. �That�s a bit worrying� I thought, correctly as it turned out. The beer was clear, had a decent head but sadly it was pretty crap. I think I�ll wait a bit longer than 10 years before my next visit, although it will very likely have closed by then.
