Do you remember scotch John and shirley from Shirehall.

I knew a lot that went in there and that club below was it Hartley house.

I often called in the Horseshoe during the war time but it was always known to us as Aphatis (spelling?) does anyone know as to how it got that name,i used to assume it was the name of a former landlord like swainies was for the Carlisle Hotel when a chap named Swain kept it in the early 1900,s
