JOHN HABS Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 When wife and I were courting we use to meet up at the top of the escalator outside Walsh's ( now TJ Hughs ), from then on we would make our way down to the Merry England pub just below the Black Swan, then walk back towards the Mulberry Tavern on Arundle Gate, then back towards High Street and the Blue Bell, up Fargate towards The Museum Pub, go next door to The Stone House, then across the road to the Bucanner. Anyone remember any or all of these pubs ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone remember any or all of these pubs ? It's a wonder you could still walk.:D........ I remember all these pubs, the main meeting places used to be outside Rackams or the Threepeny bit in Pond Street depending on where your bus stopped.

sedith Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 I worked behind the bar in the Whetstone for about 5 years for Eileen and Tom Walsh, it wasn't full of the low lifes then. I used to go the Albert, Dove and Rainbow, Blue Bell, Sportsman, Nelson, Buccaneer, Red Lion, not all on the same night I hasten to add! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
