Remembering old pubs


Recommended Posts

When I was a kid i used to play with the landlords son at the Wellington, Brightside Lane. We used to go into the old stables which had been turned into a garage, in the room above there were the equipent used back in the victorian times to breakdown the rum and whisky. All sorts of brass and copper equipment be worth a fortune now.

The Wellington was built about 1820 and further up Brightside Lane was the "Blucher" Named after the Prussian general who fought alongside Wellington at Waterloo. The Blucher was demolished about 1960.
