My first pint was in The Tramway in 1962 Joe Singleton was the Landlord His wife I think had been licensee for donkey's years the look on Joes face when he bought me a pint on my 18th in 1963.

I can remember standing at the bar in the Bay Horse chatting to the landlord and came out with a statement "well I'm young enough I'm only 17
quickly followed by er eighteen I mean

I think my first pint was in the AEU club on the corner of Paxton St. and Blackburn Road, 10p if I remember correctly. I remember Johnnie Walker taking me in the King's on my seventeenth birthday and telling Frank Daniels it was my eighteenth, free beer all night. First local was the Peel Park.

the castle pub may be grubby now but when john and marie whittam were there it certainly was not they ran the castle for 17years and the brewery during that time scale would not have allowed them stay so long if they were not satified with the running of the pub
