Thorn Inn

Didn't know that either Staggeringman and i lived in Church for the first 24years of my life. Can you confirm what AB says, is it Easter Sunday? Wouldn't mind visiting it.
 
Church Kirk opening day.

Whether it be Easter Sat or Easter Sun, I reckon we should all meet in the "Tower" then go in the Thorn for a drinkie and a chat! :) What say you Tealeaf?
 
Locks - if you don't like locks, don't go over to Leeds! There are something like nine locks in a row at Bingley, and they are DEEP!! - I don't mind locks, I usually volunteer to do them (ask me about almost falling into the Thames at Chertsey - SOBER!) but the Bingley ones are horrendous.

We could always do an Accyweb boat trip - but I doubt it would be sober (hope not). Could we organise one via the best pubs?
 
the stag is a good few hundred years older than the thorn,the thorn was built in the 18 hundreds,the stag is recorded back to the early 15 hundreds.
guess what ? i went to sacred heart as well!:drink:
 
I have a feeling that quite a lot of people on this site lived in Church at one time Staggering man, and either went to Sacred Heart or Church Kirk schools.
 
i lived in church but went to st, marys on moscow mill st . yes willow they still do the barge trips

Went to Bingley a few years ago i was terrified, and we weren't even in a boat. Didn't stop long near the canal.

Go on tell us about almost falling into the Thames at Chersey.
 
Has anyone been in the Thorn Inn lately ? It is currently undergoing a major refurbishment, new games room, sky sports on large plasma screens, video jukebox etc, and to top it all the beer is reduced in price until 7pm.
It's worth popping in if ever you're in the area. What a good pub !
