Oh f?ck it, i'm not even attempting the rest of Bolton town centre renamed pubs

 

Was my Grandma's prefered pub living, as she did right opposite the Reform Club, was actually called The Stanley Arms.

 

MickyD; a font of worthless shite!

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?

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?

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

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!

Old Vets club - Duke St, Halliwell - New housing estate

Victory Conservative club - Chorley Old Rd - Pound shop

Labour club - St Georges Rd - Sally Army

I'll stump em. What's the Eagle & Vulcan on Folds Road these days then?

Cafe cum drug den?

Old Orleans - now NEXT, a place where women-folk buy their clothes, I'm led to believe.

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.

cattle market, now a gay sauna

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.

Halliwell Lodge ......Houses

 

 

Is the Mop still standing ?

The Three Pigeons in Astley Bridge used to be a pub.

 

Now a place where hand-to-hand combat is compulsory.

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.

Jesus, definitely.

Cheap night out. He won't drink and he can turn tap water into wine.

The Willows, Bradshaw = India Gate restaurant

The 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!

bulls head or black bull wasnt it?
