sedith Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 The Stone House was our hang out in the early 70`s Used to go in there myself, in fact did a few shifts behind the bar in the courtyard when Jim ran the place . He was a friend of Tom Walsh who had the Whetstone and if you wanted extra shifts Jim always had some going! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WallBuilder Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 The Museum was a regular haunt for me although the outside toilets were a bit cold in the winter. I had occasions to go in all the other pubs mentioned depending usually on what club I was going to end up in I used to meet a g/f at the threepenny bit kiosk and as it was a popular meeting point was once spotted by several work colleagues meeting my g/f and I can still remember the comments as she was dressed in hippy gear, my work colleagues were all trendies.

cuttsie Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 When wife and I were courting we use to meet up at the top of the escalator outside Walsh's ( now TJ Hughes ), 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 Arundel 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 Buccaneer. Anyone remember any or all of these pubs ? The Red Lion Holly St mid sixties, Albert Greenwood bricklayer and gentleman would lead a conga out of the Lion pick up some more punters from The Albert on Barkers Pool,lead the ever growing conga line round the back of the City Hall and back to the lion where as usual it was now so packed we could not get in. Albert also used to get the skiffle band going in the Lion this comprised of Fairy liquid bottles filled with dried peas, old washing rubbing boards, tommy talkers, tambourines, and spoons . All these improvised instruments would then be used to accompany the juke box with the hit of the day, hilarious ,Why aren't pubs like that anymore.

glennC Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 Ah happy days, for those of us with the prog rock in our backgrounds, we used to start off in the Albert, then down to the Buccaneer on to the Wapentake and then the Nelson and if we could make it, down to the Penthouse at the side of the market. Some fantastic nights forever etched into my memory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
