The turks head...closed

In case you missed my answer on the last page, I am glad to see the pub back open we had our 25th Anniversary party there 4 years ago.
 
my daughter lives opp it and it was open last night.it was shut for painting but it is open again now best wishes
 
Thanks for all the wishes for the pub, i am hoping we will do well, and hope you can have some future good experiences from it as you did from its past. It would be nice if any of you have any old pictures from the time you used the pub, and we may be able to have a section of the pub with pictures of the past and present :)
 
That's sparked off a couple of memories, Lyn ("Nurse, he's out of his bed again!")...
I have vague memories of Go Go Dancers dancing in cages in The Gilded Cage in Stephenson Street (but that could be a Brew XI flashback) in the early / mid 70s. Also, I definitely remember a friend of mine dragging me to The Britannia Hotel in Union Passage on a cold wet Friday afternoon around that time to ogle a Go Go dancer. I remember thinking it was even outdated then in 1976.

As it was and how it may one day look (although the work does seem to be progressing at a snail's pace with the second lane to Lancaster Circus still closed to traffic, whilst yet more "student accommodation" is allegedly still under construction - are there really that many students?):
