MickyD; a font of worthless shite!
Totty Posted July 16, 2008 Posted July 16, 2008 The Bluebell at the Bury end of Bury/Bolton Road is now a bed shop downstairs and a brass den upstairs! come to think of it, i wonder if any of them beds for sale are, err, used?
no balls Posted July 16, 2008 Posted July 16, 2008 The Squirrel became an Indian, then shut, then burnt down recently. I think it could be a nice place if someone spent a bit of time/money on it. Loads of outside space for the hot summer months ( ) Plus it's the nearest pub to me. Anybody fancy purchasing it and doing it up?
trigger Posted July 16, 2008 Posted July 16, 2008 would love too, i remember going there as a kid, my dad and his mate used to go and me and my dads mate's lass used to run around in the grass and play on the equipment, oh dear, i think ive just found the root cause of my outdoors fetish! cracking location though!!! needs to be developed and shared by all!!!

It is a shame that, I used to love spending a summer afternoon there. Good Indian though
trigger Posted July 16, 2008 Posted July 16, 2008 it was until it changed from aloms, then someone had an impromptue BBQ in there! ah well, maybe some nice chap will buy the land, flatten it and build another pub!

THunter Posted July 16, 2008 Posted July 16, 2008 I'll stump em. What's the Eagle & Vulcan on Folds Road these days then?Cafe cum drug den?
Guest Firthy Posted July 16, 2008 Posted July 16, 2008 Old Orleans - now NEXT, a place where women-folk buy their clothes, I'm led to believe.
MickyD Posted July 16, 2008 Posted July 16, 2008 Cafe cum drug den? Vulcan is the PC World car park isn't it? Bradford arms has, after many years as a burnt out shell, got the builders in. My guess is student accomodation acomodation flats.
Bea Smith Posted July 16, 2008 Posted July 16, 2008 Wheatsheaf/Serendipity's on the junction of Newport St and Gt Moor St is now a pound shop. Oh you blatant liar! It isnt a pound shop. But considering the precinct seems to be overun with them im not suprised you made that assumption. Tsk tsk you're losing it boy.
Traf Posted July 16, 2008 Posted July 16, 2008 Oh you blatant liar! It isnt a pound shop. But considering the precinct seems to be overun with them im not suprised you made that assumption. Tsk tsk you're losing it boy. OK, one of those cheapo shops then. Homesaver or something. Next step up from the Pound Shops.
CSBWFC Posted July 16, 2008 Posted July 16, 2008 OK, one of those cheapo shops then. Homesaver or something.Next step up from the Pound Shops. Halliwell Lodge ......Houses Is the Mop still standing ?
jayjayoghani Posted July 16, 2008 Posted July 16, 2008 The Three Pigeons in Astley Bridge used to be a pub. Now a place where hand-to-hand combat is compulsory.
SatanGreavsie Posted July 16, 2008 Posted July 16, 2008 Dr Who's tardis used to be a boozer; always looked bigger on the outside than on the in, until he bought it and turned things round. So question - what strange combination of historical fact or fiction would you be happy to share a pint with toneet? I reckon having a pint or ten with th'Incredible Hulk, Jesus and Boudicea (with the painters in). Bound to kick off.

He won't drink and he can turn tap water into wine.
YATESY Posted July 16, 2008 Posted July 16, 2008 The Willows, Bradshaw = India Gate restaurantThe lamb, Bradshaw = Dine restaurant The Nab Gate, Harwood = Baci restaurant The Royal oak, Bradshaw = Latino lounge restaurant The volunteer, Bromley x = Green Bengal restaurant Hazzy you missed one of them up our way - the big old pub opposite India Gate that is now a residential property. What was that one called? Bulls Head rings a bell - in fact I am pretty sure it still has the name in the stone above the front door!
Bea Smith Posted July 17, 2008 Posted July 17, 2008 Halliwell Lodge ......Houses Is the Mop still standing ? Aye the Mop/Wheatsheaf is still tucked away at the back.
