Cashy, what was that pub called that was on Hyndburn Rd. Round about facing Asda if I remember right. Bottom of one of those streets.
I remember going in the Pub, and I've been trying to remember what it were called.

I never went in that pub cashy, but was a regular in the Palatine just up the street, my mates dad took over as landlord, George Mccann was transport manager at Shopfitters at one time, and in later year big Jack Mcgregor was landlord, a scotch lad, quite a good darter, Harvey Macready (ex Stanley Centre forward) was a regular in those days

but ive not been in there for quite some time!

It has been bought out and re-furbished,I think by the Last Orders group.
It's quite pleasant in there now and cheap.
