owd robiner....did Mike Mahoney have a daughter, Kathleen?
When I was 15, my Aunty/Uncle took over the New Inn on Caroline St and I played the piano on Saturday nights there {for £1 a night!}
I distinctly remember a girl of that name who used to sing...she was quite a looker and always sang Starlight Serenade and I know her Father used to be with her.

From here

played many a dart matches at the New Inn they where in the poolstock league i used to play for the bricklayes in hallgate in the 60s

There was a New Inn on Caroline St, INCE, I have an ancestor who was the landlord there on the 1871 census.

There was a New Star Inn on the corner of Wallgate and Miry Lane. I was the landlord there in 1962.

The New Inn was on the corner of Caroline Street and Cross Street

annron Where was the new inn at caroline st ince.?????

Kayleigh, not sure but on the census it looks like it was somewhere near Edward St, which was off Caroline St.

I was born in peel st and if it was on the corner of Edward St it could have been the big house on the end adjoining caroline st, or there was always the bred a patch of land facing the rifleman, where something had been pulled dowm before my time. interesting.

The only New Inn I knew in Ince was just beyond the railway bridge and lower down then the big rock pub.

in answer to grouse do you remember a landlord and lady named kath & john ?

awinstanley hi i saw your reply re new star in i know cath and john cath died but john is still with us and still living in wigan

Hi annron1928 i too have an ancestor who was land lord there too in 1871 Robert Morris was married to my 5th great Aunt ,Ann Riding

Grouse, My Irish grandma and her friends who all lived in Wallgate used to go into the Star on the corner of Miry lane and Wallgate in their clogs and shawls. Probably in the 40s or early 50s. She told me that the Landlord used to put a crate of bottles under the seat so they wouldn't have to keep going to the bar.

Does anyone remember the Ropemakers on Caroline St Wallgate,our next
door neighbour Barney Callaghan took it over from Paddy King..two very
big Irishmen.

well know pub on wallgate,there were so many pubs on wallgate,from sevenstars bridge to library st.
