we did similar but i think it must be a town thing because in Manchester people tend to stay in one place and not move on very often.whatsgoingon wrote:used to be a set route that everyone followed because you used to bump into the same people in every pub. We used to start in the Man & Scythe, over to the Brass Cat, round to Swannies across to Yates's for an Aussie White and then Maxims then Ritzy's. Went to Sundowners as well which was a dive but you always pulled in there.Norpig wrote:you missed out on the golden era Boggers, Friday and Saturday night down Bradshawgate, every pub rammed and then off to Ritzys, Central Park or for me, Pink Panthers, Happy days

Back Street behind Newport Street it was the Bus Inn prior to that, I'm sure half the women in there were hookersNorpig wrote:we did similar but i think it must be a town thing because in Manchester people tend to stay in one place and not move on very often.whatsgoingon wrote:used to be a set route that everyone followed because you used to bump into the same people in every pub.

The Flicks, Picture Houses out of Town. The Carlton aka The Mount on Mount st. Halliwell, The Palladium, Higher Bridge st. The Crompton on Crompton Way next to The Castle Pub, they were only cheap about a Tanner at most.
Also one of my favourite places Moss st. Baths, Sluffy and a few of the other Oldtimers should remember that place.
The Town Centre was for later when i could hold my Drink

i grew up in Halliwell and went to Moss St Baths all the time, it would have been the late 70's and early 80's. By that time it was a bit of a dumpBanks of the Croal wrote:Don't remember going into Town much until i was a teenager, we had quite a few of what we called
