ShaneH Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 the lack of pubs is due to the old landowners being from the methodist church. there was a thread on here a few years back - great read if you can find it! there is a huge area which is practically pub free running from millhouses to london rd with the exception of the broadfield. from what i understand, the rules of land still remain. the methodists refused to permit alcohol sales i guess. maybe someone else can back this up?

mike142sl Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 rising sun? or is that nether green?Yes it's Nether Green. Many people think Fulwood is Pub Free because of the Church, but it's because of a covenant on the land placed there by one of the original land owners well before the Church was built.
