Was closed down by the brewery tosh. Nearly had the Hope & Anchor closing too but they got a reprieve. Was in the Observer at the time.

Re: broadway

Maybe just doing a refurbishment.

Have I dreamt that some pub was shutting and being turned into flats or have I heard it…is it the Broadway or I’m I just talking nonsense

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.

I thought the bikers used the Hope and Anchor ? I presume you mean Bob who had it round about the late 70's early 80's ?

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.

Bikers used to use the broadway till they refurbed it. Then they moved to the dope.
