Not great food but was ok. Used it frequently when i used to live round there & missed it when it closed. It certainly wasn't fine dining, but the steak or mixed grill was usually a decent feed and it wasn't expensive. Shame that lardy bent councillor was involved.

Marc505 Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Anyone else go to Rivi (upper) around the time of a certain PE teacher who used to like to feel if your back was wet or not coming out of the shower? He may or may not have killed someone in an amateur boxing match once too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter MickyD Posted November 12, 2019 Site Supporter Share Posted November 12, 2019 Leon's Cafe on corner of Manchester Road and Bridgeman Place. Used to spend the hour between finishing Day Release and starting Night School in there. Great juke box. Beryl Stone taught me too. Wednesday nights at Moss Street's Bolton Dolphins Swimming Club. SMC (Shirt Manufacturing Co) shop which sold fancy Northern Soul type shirts. Railway bridges, one between Johnson St and Trinity St and the other between Moncrieffe St and Manchester Road. Great for standing over the old steam trains and then going back to grandma's to have shit taken out of your eyes! Hot Beef Barms at Cafe Boulevard in Market Hall. Usually cheap if you were a mate of Jonathon, the owner's son. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our PE teacher got caught spying on girls in the changing room, when he was rumbled they took his pc from home with thousands of indecent images. Think he ended up doing a bit of bird for it. Mr Curran Mount St Joseph’s 2003 ish. Was on the front of the BEN. suprisingly enough he was a decent PE teacher, like that one off Kes but nonceier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freds dad Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Waiting at the Black Horse Bus stop in Farnworth for the X60 bus to Blackpool and it sailing past as it was full. Also the Co-op in Farnworth. A magnificent red brick building with the toy department in the basement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
