You are quite right Frank. the Brown Cow was lower down, and the one we are thinking of was a dirty brick frontage, next door to Doctor Schwartzburg's surgery.

was it not the swan outside of where I got a chair round the yed

Once went to the bar in the Railway and asked for some crisps.

Barmaid said 'not got any, the rats had them'.......


.......'you could have a pie though'

Think you are right but no doubt Charlie will think it was the Acorn Alehouse or the Circus Tavern.

It was the Swan as someone posted earlier and I thinkit was the late Frank Urmston who threw the chair through the window. As a kid old Mr Price was the landlord, his family lived in Gordon St and he served me before I was 16, godbless him.

I BOW to all those with a SUPERIOR knowledge , as a mere mortal i never profess to know everything, i never have , also as a teetotaller how i can i be expected to be good on PUBS ,However my knowledge is there for the advice i can help with .

As Mr B NO DOUBT thinks his knowledge is better than any Clowns , though i do challenge this , getva grip of yourself Mr B





THE DRINKS ARE ON CHARLIE.

What was that pub called at the bottom of leigh bridge which is now an amusement arcade?

The Royal Oak was there, and was it the Railway?

Twas merely a nipper at the time.

When I was a toddler, I remember the Willow Tree on Heath Lane (Last Shift). Used to wait for the old chap on a Friday evening to come out after a shift in the pit.

The pub was deralict for years. I am sure it was haunted !!

The Royal Oak was right on the corner were the jobs place is know and the Live and Let Live was a couple off doors down Twist Ln. Quite a dangerous place to drink the Oak as busses and coal trucks used to crash into it regular.

What about the Red Fox on Chapel St , or the Bull on Railway Road?What was the Pub next door to the Telephone Exchange called?

Was it 'Our House' or was that on the opposite side?

I cant remember , thats why im asking

i thought one of our Alcoholic users may know

Cmon Frankie , what was it called?

Not a clue I don't know where the telephone Exchange is/was ?

Was this the one in its last incarnation known as the Moonraker? I can't remember its name before that but Harry Ridgeway was the landlord in the sixties.

New Inn ? Star accross the way?

Thats it the New Inn



well done ,as for you Frankie , the Telephone Exchange is near your Daughters house at Bedford , Chapel St , opposite where Bedford Meths Church was .

Well would that not be the Liberal Club ? At the top of Duke St.

By eck you owd codgers have enjoyed this thread

No Frank , on the opposite side next to the Motor Repairs place , was where the pub was , also where the CARTERS Arms was at the top of Queen St , was a Fishing and knives shop , sold toys to ,it was called Caves, what was the pub called next door to it?

John , all us owd Goats have is Beetle Drives , Bingo , Poker , and memories , till the New season starts , owd age will come to you

It was the Con club not the Liberal Club at the top of Duke St.

Once came across the Tory General Election candidate at the next urinal. He said 'I haven't met a single Con voter in here yet" I said "You haven't met one here either!"

I almost felt sorry for him.

The pub i,m enquiring about is the one that is now an amusement arcade at the bottom of leigh bridge. I have been asking around and someone said it might have been called the grey mare but still unsure.

I remember that pub. It was just round the corner from the Bowling Alley which of course is now Aldi's. Grey Mare rings a bell.

The Hilton Arms on Twist Lane used to be Ince's pie shop and the club at the top of Duke St was indeed a Con club

My own exclusive apartment here in the posh part of Salford has been a culteral meeting point for over 30 years too although of course that is completely off topic.

I just fancied a bit of a s.

What kind of cults meet there Frank? Sounds interesting

I cannot believe my speling is that bad at the tyme of day I posted.

At leest I spellt swaning corecttleigh.
