Re: Looking for Janet McCarthy ? amongst others.

Obviously chippies not our strong point, however this could be more seasonal. There used to be a pub crawl I occassionally did fror fun, start at The Hyndburn, up to The Royal Oak on Sparth Road, then on to The Forts Arms, up the road to The Village Blacksmith, bit of a trek next up Grange streeet jiggle about a bit to The Castle, come across to The Old England Forever. up to The Wellington, then head across to The Lamb followed by The Oddfellows Arms, up to The Albion, then The Volunteer next The Commercial, The Hare and Hounds then beckoned acrosss the Traffic lights to The Load of Mischief finally up the road to The Greyhound, not a bad pub crawl eh! What a memory what !!!! Now if I was particularly thirsty I may also pop into Park View working mans' club near The Village Blacksmith, or even the good old Come and Welcome in Moor Street, there was always the Conxervative Club if climbing up that hill to the canal bridge took its' toll, then if we found the walk to the Greyhound too much the Top Club came into play. How amny of those are still going? and how on earth did they all manage to exist in a small village like Clayton, truly amazing, happy days though they will never return. God bless happy memories Old Saintonian, only eleven days left you lucky people !!!!!!! P.S Keep on the lookout for that elusive Janet McCarthy PLEASE !!!!!!!
