Ontarian1981 Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 a lot of pubs in the town centre had their nicknames. The Black Swan was the mucky duck, the Wapentake was the Wap, the Buccaneer was Buck's When they changed the Compleat Angler to the Mucky Duck, did everyone start calling it the Black Swan?

Janet Olsen Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 You might like this then Padders. A friend of mine & I used to work in reception & on the switchboard at Middlewood Hospital back in the 1960's. Sometimes when we were feeling a bit naughty, we would answer the phones & say "Good morning (or whatever time of day) Diddywood & Morbid. Sorry got off track here, just thought it might amuse you.

choogling Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 Yes, I remember them being at the old Farm House. Meersbrook Park was one of my old stomping grounds in fact anywhere around Heeley/Meersbrook. No pubs in Meersbrook! yes no pubs in meersbrook ,I was born there in 1950 ,but loads of churches to make up for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatrajah Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 White Swan was a greaser's meeting place. No cars on in the car park, only motorbikes. No suits and ties, only leather jackets. No pop music, only Rolling Stones, and definitely no short hair. When was this? I lived a few doors away from there from 1959 to 1973 & I don't remember anything like that.
