yeh think yer right beechy, the castle was the one were people turned right on leaving n fell in the cut,i think?:D

Re: clayton public house
 

Yeh, I've had one or two of those plates too Margaret .. were really yummy. Remember Joe Haigh too .. he was OK. The one thing I remember about the Volunteers though was a moss-green carpet, thought was cool.

See the Albion up for sale too, as well and The Lamb, what is going on ?

Re: clayton public house
 

The Commercial is now the Balti Stan, and the Castle was on Chequers, it is now a private house.

I think the problem in Clayton is that there are now too many pubs, trying to attract a dwindling number of customers.

People's drinking patterns have changed over the years, 30 years ago no one would have thought of buying cans from a supermarket, to drink at home, rather than going to their local.
