Marian I think you may wasting your time...there are not many of us left.
What happened to Riley Moors and Kevin Pilkington....David Harker and many others who we knew back then?
I know that Donald Eddleston is a member and visits now and again.
Maybe we are the shy one's who have lived the life and don't regret it?

Re: Cinema in Church
 

Riley Moores has been gone for about 6 or 7 years, I remember reading his obit. I drank a few pints with him up James St. W.M.C. many years back.

Hi bondi, did Kevin Pilkington have a pen behind the Bull back in the 60/70, seem to remember this bloke and his dad had a pen and kept pigeons, I asked Roy and he didn't know, but the name Kevin Pilkington rings a bell in that department

Re: Cinema in Church
 

i dont think Marian is wasting her time !

Some of us just need a bit of a kick start to get us going.
I worked with RILEYS brother RAYMOND [MOOSE] at J T ROTHWELLS in the 1964 to 1972 era
If i remember correctly RILEY was involved in whippet racing on White Ash
playing fields in the early 1970s

Re: Cinema in Church
 

Thats right Peter we do need a kick start but i dont remember Riley racing whippets but i will find that one out from his son Jim did you know him,. but i do know Riley had a pen and he did race pidgeons.

Re: Cinema in Church
 

Hiya John and my name is Marian Yes i think you are right about Kevin having a pen now i come to think about it i think you got pub mixed up it would be white bull as he lived up here in the little cottages on the left opposite the baptist which is no longer there now it is 2 houses correct me if i am wrong which i am sure you will.

Re: Cinema in Church
 

We just called it the Bull in those days, when Ernie Gribble was the Landlord. Those houses did one belong to Albert Bensons' daughter:confused:

Re: Cinema in Church
 

dont think so albert had the big house at the end of grove street and pat and her husband who has now passed away has the big house across the road from that being the first house on the right from nook lane does that answer your question.
