He Favers mi father when he hadn't getten o latchlifter.
Do they hope to attract customers with an Ape at the front?
OMG ! the Fox was my local in the 1960's and early '70's. What on earth is that doing there ?
The Fox has always been at Roby Mill, Alan.
Love it! up the road from me someone has a lifesize boxing Gorilla on their wall.
I bet many people sit on this one's hand and have their photo taken
Alan, Isn't that the landlord from the early 70's?
Another interesting pic, Mick.
By the look on his face King Kong not very happy about his meal ,and how much it cost him .(LOL)
He looks in a bad mood,good one Mick ,pity it wasn't a (misty )day get it?
He is the bouncer.
It look like two photos in one, Mick. Is it superimposed?
Mick I had the same thought as Garry but could not resist putting the comment on.
If you sit on his hand to have your photo taken, you can then go in the pub and make a donation to Wigan and Leigh Hospice for the privilege!
No Garry, the outside wall has been deliberately decorated like that!!
BTW, the pub is really nice inside, quite 'quirky', like the other Fifteens pubs!
like the photo ...but not the ape!
Like Dens comment but coildnt decipher the last word.....its 61 years since I left Wigan !
There is one of these gorillas for sale at Barton Grange garden centre. I'd really like one for my garden. They are expensive!
Why Carol, they'll scare all the birds.
I believe someone named it Malcolm D'Gorilla after someone in the village !
