hillsbro Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 (edited) The Closed Shop and the North Pole. Not to mention the Bull & Mouth in Waingate. The name has nothing to do with livestock - it commemorates a naval victory at the "mouth" of a French harbour "Boulogne Mouth".

stpetre Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 What about the "Low Drop" around Stevenson road area, never knew it,s real name. That pub's proper name was the 'Crown Inn' (Whitbead's) and was at the corner of Bessemer Road and Faraday Road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TORONTONY Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Go on tell all then? ---------- Post added 23-02-2016 at 21:57 ---------- Their was a pub called Why Not supposedly named after a race horse the same applies to the Who Can Tell pub and the Cossack which was named after a Derby winner in the 1840s. Are you sure it wasn't an Oaks winner that the Cossack was named after? Think about it lol;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crookedspire Posted February 24, 2016 Author Share Posted February 24, 2016 Are you sure it wasn't an Oaks winner that the Cossack was named after? Think about it lol;) I'm going to build a time machine for you so can find out for us. Didn't the Hole in the Wall on Savile Street have a nickname something to do with vinager works. Another thing about the HITW pub when you look at photos of the building the left part doesn't match the right part , was the left part originally part of the old vinager works ( gateway) it always looked at strange building?
