load of mischief/ hare and hounds

[steeljack]

I just read this story in the evening telegraph and its caused me to have a "senior moment " I'm trying to remember where the Load of Mischief pub/bus stop was located, I thought it was on the corner where this story mentions the Hare and Hounds as being located , is my memory playing tricks , I seem to remember a pub on the corner, a bank across the street on the same side, and opposite the cinema/bingo hall , cant for the life of me remember what was on the 4th corner
thanks

yes, it was those X roads. The load of mischief was knocked down when they made the motorway.

My dad once fell off his motorcycle ther when a kiddie ran out in front of him. It was cobbles back then and when wet they were lethal for bikes.

The Load of Mischief was on the other corner diagonal from the Hare and Hounds. It has been gone a long long time.....can't just think how long, but I guess there will be someone on here who will tell us.

I took a whole series of photos when they were remaking that junction with the motorway underneath. At one stage the NatWest (which is now a funeral parlour) was on a traffic island in the middle of a roundabout. But I'm blowed if I can tell you when it was!

Well, there was the garage next door to the pub and then there was the Carlton Picture house...although when I moved to clayton in 1966 it was a Bingo hall run by Fred Skinner.

Eh, Willow, I can't remember that at all. Must've moved it while I was on nights.

taking a wild guess id say all that was about 30+ years ago..my gran lived op toward martholme grange and when wed been to town wed always get off the bus outside the load of mischief..

I remember catching the bus up there when I was doing my Nurse training.....and that was more than 30 years ago...so I reckon it could be in the region of 30 years......I don't think it is 30+ though.

I remember teh LoM pub and I'm 37 so it can't be much over 30 years if that.

It definitely wasn't pre 1970.

I remember going in the 'Load' for a pint, as we had just moved to Clayton and was giving it the 'once over', there was only two people in the pub ,unusual for those days. "Where is everyone" I said "over road in't Hare n hounds, new landlords fell out wi Cobby". Apparantly Cobby were a bit of a character and if you kicked one they all limped. Has it changed?
