    City Centre pubs

    Yes we did, before we were married. Late 60s. It had a great atmosphere. It was one of many pubs for us in the town, we would always call in before our meal at the Chopsticks, the cinema or the West End. I lived in Gopsal Street, so it was only a stones throw away. Even before I was old...
