Lioved there '77 - '82 & 85 - '02, but I was working away and when home did most of my drinking in Cleveleys. During the season never went further into town than the Duke in the evenings, Washington or the one on Bonny St at lunchtimes.
As a teenager it was always the Fleece, Victoria, Mitre or the Grapes.
The latter was great when my lads were in the Army, it was a military pub - then it became an Irish bar.
Was actually in there when these two muppets came in with an IRA Collection Tin. There was a whip round to pay for the windows after they departed through them.
