Who Remembers The Wapentake?


Recommended Posts

Hi Jackie, My appearance did alter a bit through the years but nope I never wore a tassled leather or a short afghan and never ever had wrist bands on. I did have a full length afghan for a time but as far as jackets go I had at different times a belstaff, a velvet jacket,various denim jackets and for a time a para troopers top in army camoflage. I've still got a denim jacket with a sleeveless over jacket and boy do I wish I could still get them on, unfortunately middle aged spread have taken effect.

I used to go in the Grapes in the mid 80's and the Dog and Partridge and on occasion the Foresters and the Frog and Parrot. My most popular haunts though if not the Wap would of been the Yorkshiremans Arms, sometimes the Sportsman, The Underground, ooh and the Fat Cat because I liked the cider there.

Obviously on a public forum I'm not inclined to give out too much information as you never know who might prove to be annoying if I made it easy to recognise me.

Hi,

Just curious to know when you were on the door? I can remember two guys both called Mick, lovely chaps and very even tempered, little Mick wore glasses and had a thumb missing. A few years after we had Chris with his dog Taz and Russel who are both featured in the pics. With them was Robin who the girls all said had 'come to bed eyes' [girls will know what I mean]

A smoothie drunk and thrown out of Henry's came across one evening and managed to put his fist through the wire mesh glass door panel, the police merely had to follow the trail of blood, one other guy on the door at the time of Chris was a character called Wolf who went on to guard door at the Hornblower.

 

what goes round comes round

 

The little chap on the door was called mick eccles he's still alive n kicking could be found in Gardeners neepsend till it was fllooded out last june. Don't know where he is now but still living in Sheffield on Jericho st Netherthorpe jackie

Hi wallbuilder

great to hear from somebody nearly as old as me who remembers me from KGB rather than penthouse. Were you a punk rocker by any chance????? coz I remember the dance floor clearing rather rapidly when pretty vacant or god save the queen came on. Soz can't place you but did I know you to talk to.? N les used to play lots of Deep Purple, Rainbow, (rather think that was played for shirl's benefit coz boy she could dance) lynard Skinnard, ACDC cud be wrong but yes it was always loud. But I thought that was how heavy Metal was supposed to be played. Les still does play lots of deep purple etc In Nelson downstairs bar Sat night So if you in at sometime n can recognize me come up and say hi jackie

 

Wallbuilder a Punk??!!

PMSL:hihi::hihi::hihi::hihi:

Hey Tillman less of the cackles of laughter and you'll have to hope and pray I never locate the photo's of a certain party at Millhouses or it'll be my turn to cackle.

Jackie the pics on page one on the left go as follows

Andy and Leigh

Bev

Jacckie [not sure]

Elaine

Two guys who could be found on the Wap door

John but the girl's name escapes me, Tillman would probably remember [possibly Sarah or Julie]

Shaun

Maggie

I often wonder what happened to quite a few of the people featured

Ah the glory days of the Wapentake: last bastion of rock n roll, a place gone but never forgotten....

I first stepped foot in there one Saturday lunchtime during a snowstorm february 1981, clad in snow covered afghan coat, to partake of a delicious pint of Stones best bitter with a few friends. I loved it there so much I was there non stop until 1995. I remember all the staff and most of the regulars from there, especially from the early to mid 80's......long live rock and roll
