Old Photos For No Reason Whatsoever

[Lane Ender]

It was fun giving coppers the rods from inside the Whetstone on a match day, met the first wife in there. Matchdays were always great in the early 70's, Hole in my shoe by Traffic always seemed to be on the juke box another big favourite was For your love by The Yardbirds and sometimes House of the rising sun by the Animals. The jukebox had some cracking 60's tunes along with the up to date stuff from Bowie, Stewart, Slade etc

The table football in there was sound really good vibe in the Whetstone early mid 70s

When my Dad got some broken biscuits it was as real treat, I recall the one which had a coffee type icing on one side.
The thing about Davys was the smell of coffee as they had large pieces of equipment down the left hand side grinding their own beans and selling it loose as most items were loose in those days.
There were hams hung up and I suppose it was like a mini Harrods food hall today.

Me and @mrsstringsenior had a conversation the other day whilst sat in the Rising Son, Fulwood Road (picture posted earlier) almost exactly the same as this. She said I would have loved it. I think I would have.

They'd probably say 'This town's not big enough for the both of us!'

Byrne, yes, but it is Graham Shaw. Blades 2 (Jones, Birchenall) West Ham 1 (Sealey) in February 1965

This was probably the dodgiest pub I've been in, in Sheffield at least. A friend of mine took me there, otherwise I would never have known it was there, and it was full of unsavoury looking skinheads, but my mate was a bit of a regular and after the initial shock I felt quite safe. Odd when I think about it as I'm pretty sure I must have been underage, possibly by two or even three years.

That's right. The caption incorrectly said it was Joe Shaw.

Was that a significant game for Joe Shaw?

It's half demolished!
It's going to be a Costa Coffee and drive through KFC or some other shit. Only the stone facade will be left from the original building.
I started my drinking life in The Pheasant, It holds great memories for me (and my wife, we met there, she worked behind the bar). I still live just along the road from it. Every time i go past I think what a bollocks they're making of everything!
Now, where did I put my time machine?
