Yes you are quite right about the hole in the wall pub.. in later times it became Sarah Moons.. then a friend of mine had it and called it The Confession Box... Now it's called PEAKY BLINDERS..Sakura, I agree with your sentiments but how was The Hole In the Wall connected to the atrocity? That was in Dale End, and as far as I remember it was never bombed.
Just read that they are planning to demolish The Longboat in Cambrian Wharf. I must admt that when I visited it last year it felt a little bit run down, but I always remember the summers I spent there, especially the long hot summer of 1976. Lump in the throat time!

Yes, I remember this pub, what a pain to deliver to, almost alway there was a car parked in the old cobbled street leading down to the pub,which no one ever owned and if you managed to get anywhere near to the pub the landlord or manager was hard to get out of bed and open up.
same here mike used to go in with my rollar rink mates...must also try and get another look at itMust visit it. I only remember it as the longboat. Never went in there after
