evamermaid Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 Seeing the other thread about the Nelson & Wappentake brought back memories of Rebels night club. Do you remember it, around 1982 or 3? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WallBuilder Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 I'm sure a lot of the regulars on the forum will know about this site now but here is the link again for newbies http://www.rocknroll.f9.co.uk/pubs/rebels.html Lots of plans and info on the place and a seperate section Rock Reunited with loads of pics of some of the customerrs. Are you to be seen anywhere i wonder? The White Lion had a brilliant juke box and if you were a regular in there in the early 80's we probably know one another by sight if not by name.

evamermaid Posted August 25, 2005 Author Share Posted August 25, 2005 Hi Wallbuilder, Thanks for directing me to that website. Sadly I'm not on any of the pics, but I recognise one or two people I'm sure! Doesn't it look so dated??!! I recognise the DJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WallBuilder Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 Dated????? How dare you!!! The denim and leather look is timeless, or at least that's my excuse for not buying a new wardrobe. If you go in the White Lion you can still see some of the old crowd lurking and nowadays 'creaking' in the shadows. The pics do seem to cause a certain amount of amusement and a great many nostalgic sighs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evamermaid Posted August 26, 2005 Author Share Posted August 26, 2005 Tee hee wallbuilder, Lurking in the shadows at the White Lion, huh? Has the White Lion changed? I think I last went there circa 1982. Remember it always had All along the watchtower playing on the juke box and also Band of Gold. We spent a lot of time in there... PS have sent some of my pix to the Rebels website. Look out for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
