Harry1000 Posted February 8, 2006 Author Share Posted February 8, 2006 Good, someone else has said it is haunted! Thanks Lovabulrogue! I heard that they used to use the upstairs part as a late bar and an area bands played in, is that still the case? I also heard that at some point in the past a doctor may have plied his trade there. With a history that spans possibly 200 years, (the earliest record I found for it was 1839) it would have seen alot of people come and go. I bet the people who used to live in the old terraces going down Fitzwilliam Street would also work in the cutlery works, then go to the local for a pint. Who knows what characters that place may have seen other the years, people who like Spandau Ballet for a start! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longcol Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 Dunno about haunted but in the mid '80's the old couple who ran it used to have a huge collection of teapots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What an excellent post Longcol. You are right - I remember seeing them. Teapots 1 Ghosts 0. Result! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greybeard Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 Dunno about haunted but in the mid '80's the old couple who ran it used to have a huge collection of teapots. Teapots and the old couple were still there in 1991, I think it was about that time they retired. Nice people. Edit: Spirits in a pub - whatever next ?

I will be there a week on Sat (after the derby match) until late no doubt. I ask again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry1000 Posted February 11, 2006 Author Share Posted February 11, 2006 Back to the teapots, did they used to have them displayed on the shelving all around the lounge? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
