Photo-a-Day  (Monday, 4th April, 2016)

Lovely photo Ron, outdoor patio, grass fit for a bowling green, must be good.

Ron great picture whoever as done that to the pub desrves a mention looking great,that tractor could be a clue,who is the landlord/landlady?

I like the little tractor, Ive seen this around Aspull a few times.

under new management I believe - seen a sudden demise in pubs in Aspull over the years - I believe the Gerard is doing quite well and I heard a whisper about a 'micro bar' opening up ...gone...Hare & Hounds, Running Horses, Queens Head, Red lion, New Inn, Mount Pleasant

" Bloomin-eck!" now that's the way to go with owd pubs. Love the little grey Ferguson tractor who does that belong to.

Walt, I don't know who owns it, but it was on show at a recent Tractor Rally held in Aspull.

As the new management has gone to such trouble I feel obliged to take a pint in there. I'm very generous like that!

could somebody put the name of the landlord/lady on here please.

I'll have a pint of Guinness, Neil, and a packet of Pork Scratchins as you're feelin generous!! :-)

I sat on this doorstep many times as a kid. We used to take bottles back for the 3d deposit. Two bottles bought a packet of Smith's Crisps, the ones with the little blue twist of salt. We were easily pleased.

I would love to know the proprietors name.

Mine's a Barley Wine, Neil! Lovely photo, Ron.

best picture on here for a while well done Ron.

Why dont you phone them up Joe and ask him yourself

As kids we used to climb into the back-yard of the ale-house, help ourselves to a few empties and redeem the deposits at the "outdoor". After a week the landlord got suspicious until my mate said Its a very sad case, Johnnys Dad is an alcoholic!

Mick that is a good idea,will do that.Ernest thank you for your info.

Ernest I looked at the archive picture and enjoyed looking at aspull,s past.I think the landlord might have changed.lol
