Pub near Bull Bridge

Does anyone remember what the pub, close to Bull Bridge, on one of the streets now demolished was called that had the nickname - 'The Little Lads Pub.?
Sorry cannot tell you more just talking of times gone and it came into conversation but none of us can remember anything else about it.

Re: Pub near Bull Bridge

I think it was the Black Bull, it was opposite the end of Hynburn Road opposite the St John Ambulance building, I remember catcing the coach to a Rovers away game against Cambridge Utd I think on a new years day probably in the late 70's

Re: Pub near Bull Bridge

My mate has finally remembered the name of the pub it was "The Horseshoe" must say it is not the one I remember I am probably thinking of " The Black Bull" as you suggested hedman, thanks for all your help everyone.

There is a picture of The Black Bull here. I cant post it on here as its copyrighted. It says that it was pulled down to make way for the Arndale Car Park. There is also a picture of the Horseshoe Inn.

Re: Pub near Bull Bridge

The Black Bull surely. I remember it well from the mid to late 50s. Thwaites Ales I think, butI am open to correction.
