Kelvinlad Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 Just reading about the Shakespear reopening on another thread and I was thinking about my first legal alcoholic drink, which I had at the Mosley Arms. Where was your first legal drink? Oh I forgot, is the pub still there as a pub? George IV, Infirmary Road on my 18th birthday. It's still there!!

phawley Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 George IV, Infirmary Road on my 18th birthday. It's still there!! Me too, that was in 1968 I met my wife in there and we're still happily married, last time I went past it was shut down but it would be nice to know if it has reopened.
