Re: broadway
shame if thats the case, the Broadway was a great boozer way back, all the bikers used to gather there late 60s n 70s, great jukebox, great landlord "Bob" who sadly passed away a few years back, his missus n daughter popped in me disco a few weeks back with some visitors from down south, we had a real good night reminising.

Had some good nights in there in the early 70s.
I'm led to believe it has been bought by the Last Orders group and is being re-furbished even as we speak.
Should be open in about 6weeks.
