Re: Pub near Bull Bridge

The Pub was called the "Horseshoe",and I recall going in there for a crafty half of bitter from the age of 15plus in around 1947.A pint then cost 10 pence and a "half" was all I could afford on my apprentice wage!

Hi Mitzy,
According to Bob Dobson's latest on Accy you're right - it was the Horse Shoe which was on the corner of Crawshaw Street and School Street. There's a photo in the book.

Re: Pub near Bull Bridge

I used to work with a David Gugdeon on 't buses (1977-87) still see him from time to time on one of the little hoppers on the 5/8 route (think thats what they run as) and what was known as 5&6 and 7&8 one lot went dill hall church springhill the other went laneside barnfold and reverse lol.


AHHHHHHHHHHHH the Black Bull had many a happy night in there with my Dad (Bernard) and the football teams he used to coach (his nickname was The Capt'n) playing darts 'donkeys' and cribbage. Then we used to wander to the ('t club) King St WMC meet mother and then walk home after she had finished behind the bar sometimes straight and sometime with a 'wobble' LOL
