roger ,
         a cracking picture , and it was a cracking pub
          always packed out good bevvys at all times even at the evening times when the surrounding factory,s was closed
         i drank in there many times with alot of friends
          and with lads whom came down and around on the no ,8 .
           circle bus from lady wood to drink in there 
           i was always in there with the lanfords. ronnie, david 
           and fanny , those were the days never no trouble
           not like tony.s from the sportsman, whom came from the three a,s and eventual went to the pelham with more trouble 
           on his hands , all with my ticket holders [ people i barred ]
           thanks for the memory . best wishes astonian ;;;
