Excellent photo, there was a discussion a few weeks ago on the two Golden Lions on Wallgate, named top Lion and bottom Lion as one ex-postman told. Swales brewery, I think, was behind the Bowling Green at Newtown, someone will know whether or not it was.
was,nt the sun & the grapes just across the road from it ? .
The other Golden Lion was next to the Raven
whups, it was The Star Inn not the Sun, The Grapes was across the way, but further up.
seen some good darts matches in here
in the 60s.Sammy Daniels ? joe brown etc
it was all slip up then.
I remember the Long Pull Pub, my aunt and uncle had that for a time, Bill and Molly Woosey ( sadley both passed away now ). Before that it was the Garrys ( my friend Pat Garry's parents ). I loved going in there It was 3 floors high, the second floor was living area and top floor bedrooms. Lovely memories.
