crookedspire Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 The pub that got closed and slammed as a 'den of thieves ' went in a few times used to visit the Market Tavern, Hen and Chickens and the Parkway Traven too. I only remember the Cannon as a rough and ready boozer was that always the case ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yorky15 Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 (edited) The pub that got closed and slammed as a 'den of thieves ' went in a few times used to visit the Market Tavern, Hen and Chickens and the Parkway Traven too. I only remember the Cannon as a rough and ready boozer was that always the case ? It was general knowledge, that if you wanted to pay less than market prices for anything locally, such as meat etc. just ask in the Cannon, and within the time of supping a pint, your order was fulfilled. Never tried it myself by the way! I am pleased that it was shut down. Den of iniquity! Edited March 21, 2015 by yorky15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hillsbro Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 wasn't always like thatQuite right - in the 1970s it was a regular pub lunch venue for me and my colleagues from the Midland Bank round the corner (now the Banker's Draft pub - definitely a change for the better..) In c. 1997 I went in one lunchtime wearing a suit, and I reckon half a dozen pairs of eyes followed me up to the bar - their owners perhaps deciding how much they could do me for. I downed a quick half of bitter - it wasn't bad - and legged it to the Three Cranes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
