Quite a few pubs only the size of a terraced house ... Village Blacksmith on Bayley St., Clayton (bottom end of course, just up the street from the Bottom Club) for example. Dutton's house; served a grand pint ... often stopped in there for a quick one on the way down to the Fort's, which was a fair distance away ... almost a 2 minute walk.
