It breaks my heart to see our old drinking holes disappearing, I remember not so long ago every Friday night we starting off in the Pickup Arms then onto the Springhill club, along Blackburn Road and by the time we reached church we were rocking, had an hour with Don and Liz in the stag and then last in the cross guns for Sully (RIP) and Jeans disco. Every pub and club was heaving.

Its hard to believe all these pubs existed not so long ago and that Church was one of the best nights out around, I am just glad I was there to enjoy them and to meet all the people I did.

Is it the price of ale or have social trends changed its hard to tell its not the smoking ban because most of these establishments were gone before it came into place.

I think soon the only place to have a drink will be town centre bars as the good old pubs will all have gone, its a crying shame.
