Quote from: BobG on July 29, 2013, 11:06:18 pmWhat was that pub called, years ago, up by the high rise flats just south of the railway station? Used to sell Darleys. Whether you liked Darley's or not, it's always good to have some variety. And the Corner Pin better not be gone. I shall personally nuke Donny if that ever closes. And the Magdelene in the Market Place. I heard its a toffee nosed joint now though. Used to be a shit hole of the highest order. Shit literally (and I do mean that) running on the floor in the bogs. But the beer... Oh that Tetleys. It was sublime. IanH can tell you all about that. Last port of call it was on many a Saturday night.Is the Turf Tavern still there? My first ever regular watering hole. Brendan and Peter K used to drink on there too. Can't think why i used to go there!CheersBobGI believe the corner pin is still up and running. Was it the Corporation Brewery Taps you were on about near the high rises?

I noticed on passing through the other day - the other one on that stretch of road is for lease again too! The Bay Horse re-opened on Friday, but I have heard that the Drum will be knocked down, but that is just a rumour. Bentley used to be great for a pub crawl back in the day, but has gone the same way as lots of places with closures.good companions been closed a while, now flats The Druids has reopened though I noticed last week.

Speaking of my youth, did anybody else's weekend pub crawl start at the Yorkist. Followed by Blue Bell, Beethams, The Castle, The Woolpack, The George, White Bear, Kings Head, Hallcross, Regents Archives, and finishing in The Saracens before a kebab and a last run to the North Bus Station to catch the last bus, or if we missed it, straight into the Main Line. Those were the days, so many happy memories and also sad ones that a lot of them are no longer around.
Is the Railway Tavern still on the go in Bentley?
And the Magdelene in the Market Place. I heard its a toffee nosed joint now though.
Anybody been past the Fox and Hounds at Wadworth lately looks like a War Zone, nothing but professional vandalism. Used to be a cracking pub years ago.
Wasn't that The Silver Link? If it wasn't where was it?Back in my mind addled youth it was where I used to frequent, passing pieces of Wrigleys in silver foil round just to upset the "undercover" drug squad, and of course who could forget Brew 10
The Buffalo in Moorends and the Benbow I think in Wheatley are gone too now.

Anyone remember the Underground in Bowers Fold near the market. You went downstairs and if you turned left at the bottom you were ok, but if you turned right and went through a velvet curtain you ended up in the gay part. Had to go in there while you we're still pretty sober lol
