Paul Cocker Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 Guy who had it before us was Keith Hoyland, so late 70s to early 80s, not sure prior to that as at 10 year old I was more interested in the latest Donkey Kong and drinking copious amounts of fizzy pop!

Paul Cocker Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 You must be Terry's son then. I use to play for the pool team, we had pretty useful side then. Yes, I remember all the pub teams winning all sorts of awards and trophies - the cabinets in the tap room used to be rammed full with silverware! I also remember my dad getting me out of bed so I could meet Roger Wylde and Mel Sterland I think it was, who presented the trophies to the football team - think I just said 'Who are you?' Had a good time living there but I think the long hours and decline in pub-trade (First £1 pint as I recall) nearly killed my parents! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missflirtuk Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 I had my 18th birthday party there, and used to go in with OH when I was pregnant a couple of times (I only drank J20 and Cola though. Not together) I still call it the fighting **** even though it's now called Malthouse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
