Exactly, what happened to Yates's wine lodge? |
I trust you mean in their pre-1990s makeover state.. I fondly recall Yates's in Bradford which was tiled to shoulder level and with sawdust on the floor (no kidding). The tiles I understood benefited cleaning down via hosepipe. Australian 'white' (the colour of stewed tea) was the tipple of choice for the impecunious student... A few glasses then a dash across the road for the lunchtime strippers at The Crown.

Quote: | I fondly recall Yates's |
I too remember the Yates in Bradford and Wakefield. I also remember the big one in Blackpool. We used to call Yates the 'ugly pub' because that was where all the munters, tugs and crocodillapigs used to go. If I recall, the nasty, sweet wine was called a 'dock'.... ____________________ Now - Speed Triple, old ratty GS550, GSXR750M

I bet we saw each other back in the 80s. Remember Pips on the Bull Ring and the dodgy steak Canadian, and Raffles too?

I remember the Inns of Court well. My sister and brother-in-law still go in. Ed Tudor-Pole is a regular apparently...
I also liked the 'Mid', or the Roundabout as it was and has become again. It had a jukebox stuck at 1978, so cracking tunes! ____________________ Now - Speed Triple, old ratty GS550, GSXR750M

For me too. I did a term of A Levels at Wakey Tech before bombing and getting a job instead. The pub you refer to near the prison was Henry Boons if I recall. It was next door to Clarkes Brewery. It used to do a jam session on a Sunday afternoon... I had my 18th there ____________________ Now - Speed Triple, old ratty GS550, GSXR750M

Old Thread Alert!
The last post was made 2 years, 20 days ago. Instead of replying here, would creating a new thread be more useful? |
