Photo-a-Day  (Tuesday, 22nd October, 2024)

Now thats a building I remember very well. My Grandparents lived nearby in St Clements Rd & there was a small green space that had a few flowering cherry trees in at the end of the road that we always called ' Cherry Gardens '
Thanks for the memory Dennis.

Spent many nights in here in the early 1970's. George Waterhouse was the landlord with his wife Mary. This pic brings back many memories but the most poignant is of Ian Regent, one of our group who tragically died in a rock climbing accident aged only 20 years old. This was before text messages and mobile phones had been invented and his distraught father came in one evening to tell us. The outside looks exactly the same as 50 years ago except for the 2 planters but I imagine it would be different inside. Thanks for the photo Dennis.

Noticed that this had been completed when I passed a week or so ago. Looks brilliant. Hadn't realised how run down it looked in recent years until seeing it like this

Over twenty summers have passed since my last visit to the Cherry Gardens. There were tables at the front in those days and much supping under the evening sun, while having a laugh with Wigan chums.

Splendid photo. Dennis.

Tastefully decorated shows restraint …they could have painted it Cherry Blossom pink…!
Good photo today.

We were in here last Friday, the inside has had a facelift too. They had a singer on and there was a good atmosphere in the place. We'll be going in again soon. Good photo Dennis.

It looks very classy..T.D.come Summer the tables and chairs will be there again..and everyone will be sat outside enjoying keeping up with their friends..I don’t think that will ever change.

Thanks Maureen it's good to know the Cherry Gardens is still doing well, and long may it continue.

When we went past there, my youngest son who is now 41 always referred to it as The Sherry Gardens.

Spent some time in there Dennis probably late eighties when Henry Africa’s was going always busy.

Spent many a Friday evening in here in the mid 1960’s
