Royston Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Went in Steel Inn in the early sixties....very interesting and a lot of fun!! We then went "upscale" to the Merry Monk down in the Center, even more of a laugh as they had the "Turns" on. Full of little Hitler's telling you where you could stand or sit etc!! Great memories. Both rough places, but frontier justice prevailed, and you were looked after if you were a local young 'un (in our case 15 or 16 yrs old) in there, and were not too cheeky! Before that St Swithins and St Aidans where there was plenty of aggro' especially St Swithins lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hotfeet Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 "PROPER" Manor lads eh?:thumbsup: My nephews Mick and Steve Rooker were long time drinkers at the Steel. John the landlord who later took on the Jordanthorpe was a ex bus driver, and when my youngest lad got married he hired us a bus and drove the guests from the church to the reception. Happy days.............. John and Yvonne moved to Beighton and John went back on the buses for a while before taking the Beighton Miners welfare club, he then retired and him and Yvonne use the Sothall club a lot, John has the biggest hands I have ever seen and can carry four pints back from the bar by just spreading his hand over the top of them. While the landlord he repaired more cars than he pulled pints as he was a good mechanic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
