It moved from above Redman's to the old Ambulance Drill Hall, then when that closed it moved to the old bakery, was owned by the stepfather of that young snooker player that looked like he was going to be a world beater, made a 147 break when he was only 14, he was called Mark, but can't remember his surname, he lives in Ossy now and I saw him in Ossy Con occasionally. in fact he played for the team there for a while, don't think he plays at all now
