The Pub was called the "Horseshoe",and I recall going in there for a crafty half of bitter from the age of 15plus in around 1947.A pint then cost 10 pence and a "half" was all I could afford on my apprentice wage!

Hi Mitzy,
According to Bob Dobson's latest on Accy you're right - it was the Horse Shoe which was on the corner of Crawshaw Street and School Street. There's a photo in the book.

AHHHHHHHHHHHH the Black Bull had many a happy night in there with my Dad (Bernard) and the football teams he used to coach (his nickname was The Capt'n) playing darts 'donkeys' and cribbage. Then we used to wander to the ('t club) King St WMC meet mother and then walk home after she had finished behind the bar sometimes straight and sometime with a 'wobble' LOL
