This pub sadly is now closed. I remember back in the 80s when it was a genuine local. I expect like so many it's reached the end of its days. Shame.

The regulars used to go on a 'charabanc' (bus) tour to an unknown destination, unknown to me an eight year old boy. My friends and siblings used to congregate outside the pub as the crates of beer were loaded into the luggage compartment at the rear. The men, already primed, would board the bus and to our great delight would throw out pennies and halfpennies, which we children would scramble to retrieve. Great times. I lived in George Crescent on the new estate. This would have been around the early 1950's
