It were a bit of a rum place! The owners also had the Loose Goose at Westhoughton and the Ram's Head at Tarleton. All 'fun' pubs. I remember the monkey railroad as well. There was a club across the road as well - The Mirage.

Does anyone remember earlier when this place used to be the Black Horse Italian Restaurant?

I remember the black horse very well my friend's parents had their ruby wedding there and my son worked at Henry Africa's many years later
