Was the landlords name Tony?
Think one of my uncles used to holiday with him and their respective wives.
Got a feeling a couple of my uncles were in the darts team too.0 -
Dave Rudd said:Looks OK to me. I've lived in Manchester and Newcastle and definitely drunk in worse pubs. The Victoria even seems to have a roof.
I concede that the pool table is likely to have a bit of a slope, but stop whingeing.
A year later that pub was raised to the ground. Nothing ever got build on its plot. Nobody ever really missed the place.0 -
Stig said:I used to love it in there before a match. With it's topsy-turvey floor it felt like walking into the Crooked House on Southend seafront. The last pub I know to sell cheese rolls from one of those plastic boxes at the back of the bar. They were shrink wrapped in cling film and sometimes quite tough to chew like they'd been there for days, but they always tasted divine.1

I saw a fight break out in a pub in Longbenton in Newcastle after a bloke accused someone of 'looking at my pint'.5 -

"I thought we might try that new little African place down by the Dockyard. Such a fusion of naval history and modern world cuisine. What do you think?"11 -

Must have walked past Le Wouri five hundred times, but while you can promise all the Nigerian cuisine you like, if your place doesn't have windows I'm not going in1

Architects earned their living designing buildings like these, but they were damned sure they weren't going to live in them.

It’s remarkable how much of it is boarded up yet it’s still open, get the feeling if you boarded up the door someone would kick a hole in it and it would carry on in use with folk climbing in through the hole!0

But flat roof pubs are terrible designwise and usually rough as sandpaper1 -
Le Wouri… just read some google reviews. The toilets sound a joy!0

Same with the block of flats. If they've been demolished already, then they were built not fit for purpose.

One of the few buildings that's actually enhanced by having a crane and a demolition site next to it!

Re Henrys comment on pubs with flat roofs, went in one near Maine Road and couldn’t help noticing on the block attached to the pub they had what looked like the Hound of the Baskervilles prowling about on it. To be fair, they were quite affable inside, although it was a bit like walking into an episode of Shameless.0 -
