Donny town centre pubs what was yer drinking den

[not on facebook]

Seem to have fond and more memorys Of the saracens pub.was used by lots Of donny fans back in the day.

Never likes white bear as it used to be the donnywhite pub yonks back.

Cleveland Arns and mord Nelsons were allways in for a pint Then out to next pub for me.

Nags head was pub i allways used untill the blacks moved in There,so we moved over to joplins.which
Did Its job untill Funny enough the blacks started to use it.

So on we moved to cleveland.was not racialist Its just that blacks and whites back Then were never best Of mates throughout the uk.

Camelots...went in whilst on the pub Crawl and used to make a night Of it on s sunday as it was very lively.

The round  town pub Crawl would be These pubs near enough in This order

Nags head,pub on clock corner can notvrecall the name,Magdalin,Queens,wollpack,old George,white bear,Kings head,sarcacens,high bar....last bus home

Was in the groom, When lads took tap room
There was bottles flying over as the Saras lads took
Over

And we all Stood There with are pint post in the air,
Singing SARACENS SARACENS

Would say best pub for me in donny Now would be
Little plough,how things Change When Youth is not on yer side.

Eighties would be Camelots, Kings, Nags, Nelsons, Paris Gate, Bates, Joplins, High Bar, Garden, and a few others mentioned. All done up in white socks, sky blue box leather jacket, leather tie and tight pants. I must have looked a Kitson...................but I suppose it was acceptable in the eighties.

Towards the end of the 80's and into the 90's, everything became market place based, with the George, Lion, Magdalens/Crystals, Black Bull, Castle, Groom etc etc with a splash of Scruffy Murphy's and Edwards.

In both those era's I can't remember many pubs on Silver Street. Today it's like the centre point of Ibiza at night on there.

Although, being a Thorne Hillbilly, going to town was a treat, as everything was already in Gods country and every pub was packed on a weekend night. For you Thorne'ykes, it would be Corra, Harlequin, Corner Pin (Nth Eastern), Punch Bowl, Windmill, Red Bear, Tavern, Hart and then onto the back room of the Tavern, Hart, Unc's. Finsh off with a Chinky from Sue's and then usually throw my ring up after too much Darleys. I used to love the Punch Bowl, it was the only respite from that liquid gruel in the town centre     

[Sprotyrover]

Little Plough,Corporation taps, Leopard and the little one on St Sep west,corner of Union street(Corner Pin) for me.(on the pull it was Yorkist,Nags,Kings head,Old George,High Bar)

By the way you could drink some rate toilet whater in places you mentioned.wards, holmeales,Stones YUK!!!

Started going round town when I was sixteen and our circuit started at Oscars, Nags, Garden, Black Bull, Red Lion, Georges, Woolpack, White Bear, Biscuit Billy's then either Ritzy or karisma........And then get shit faced in The Warehouse. get home at half eight sunday morning then go and play football.

Jeez, it would take me three weeks to recover from a session like that nowadays.

[bigbadjack]

Iv got a hangover just reading that nudge

Remember if you wound Sue up she'd shout "PETER!" and he'd come out brandishing his chopper. (oo err missus).

[CusworthRovers]

Sue and Peter (never knew his name), deserve a medal for all the shit and abuse they put up with........ smashed windows, threats, assaults, meals thrown on the floor and walls or even at them etc etc etc.

Early pioneers of the non white, non 'chip shop' people who came seeking their fortune in small hard faced, working class, mining communities.

They were brave people and took their life into their own hands staying open from 11pm-0200am.

I've seen Peter many a time, come out from the back with his meat cleaver in hand to rescue Sue. I'm sure Peter took out his anger in the meals he prepared, with extra salty sauce, winnits, urine and the odd crow thrown in for good measure. I don't blame him, and in fairness I never had a problem with the taste of the food.

No mention of The Staff of Life or the one that used to be on the corner of Wateredale opposite the southern bus station was it The Leger?. I am going back to the early 70's.
We, me and the girlfriend/wife, would come out of the Arndale into The Nags, then down to The Elephant, On to the one on the corner with the flags was it The Yorkist? Up the high street to The White Bear  then over to Baccus wine bar round to The Silver Link in Bradford Row round the market to Beethams maybe one in The Bell and then back to the Northern Bus station hopefully for the last bus. It was a long, regular walk home to Woodlands more often than not.
Being  bit of a hippy type in those days, when I was out on my own downstairs at The Silver Link was my pub of choice however Brew/spew 10 was not my favourite beer but still used to get my fair share down, unfortunately I never semed to be able to keep it down too long!
