NZ Chief was a proper rough and ready pub in its day, the irish landlord Martin had scratch marks scarred on his face.

I think he was called Moses....& the scars across his face were supposed to have come from a chainsaw accident !!

Thats it, i knew it started with an M. I always thought those scars on his face was some kind of trible markings he got when he came of age in some backwater village in Southern Ireland.

Never been in t'Mop, sounds like I've missed out on summat. :(

Edge Tavern Whites flag used to make an appearance at every european trip

 

 

After my time. Wasn't a footballers pub, then.

I would say both the The Howcroft Inn and Founders Arms could be considered 'back street pubs' if they are still going.

Is Millstone still going ? Used to go in there years ago.

The Railway in Tyldesley a proper back street boozer

he was, and the scars did come from a chain saw accident, chain brake wasn't working (or maybe even fitted)chain snapped in use and whipped him across the face.

probably the only time i will ever be able to use the letters "ITK" on this site :pardon:
