H i fat finger you are correct the brown derby had the hose racing themes i used to go there when it first opened for about 9 months
then changed our venues
And yes viv , you are correct about the green and red hand carts there was a couple on the left hand side as you go in
but they never survived the course, they was there for the first twelve months or so ,
like wise with the picture of the pub what phil put up was a couple of years later they changed that entrance doors
prior to that they was two posh double front doors with the wording costamomgers in bright colours
acros the centre of the main entrance
but like i said a couple of years later the clientele changed there us mods if you like in our posh gear
as you would dress at week ends
the old rockers the leather cad wear guys started to come in and alsorts of vag a bonds meaning the alckies
and there use to be fights , so out went the carts and barralls and crash bang went the posh doors
so to get in and out the two doors system was placed for that purpose but it never stopped so it closed down
