Itâs a fine pub but I was only in it once or twice. The Corner House in the centre of the town was my favoured port of call when there. Tom Hughes was the proprietor back in the day and was a gent.
Long gone, was a bookies, Bank of Scotland and currently a clothes shop since
Bleak times all over Ireland back then
Never
Whoâs your man in your profile picture?
If 2 bottles of 00 in the Fransciscian well tonight after mass
Lovely
Are you back on the sauce ?
Pastor Bigsby ( incorrect spelling)
No 00 I drink
Wonât ever go near booze again
Dockers mostly
Ohhhhh yes, jesus that was a great programme. Uncle Andy and co.
Was that around the time though that the Ford plant closed down?
Thatâs it
Yes and Dunlopâs and Gouldingâs
Jays still havenât done nothing with Gouldings. I was down that way at the market last year⌠Whole place could do with a bulldozer or 20 going through the whole area.
I was up north then
Derry was worse
But then it always was
Never had any real industry
Whereas on leeside generations working in fordâs and Dunlopâs was the norm
Rug pulled out from under the whole city
Burnt lately
Thatâs all being developed
Plan anyway
