- Hello and welcome to episode 17 of Buxton Barrow Man my volunteering series! This video is about almost all the pubs of Buxton's past and present.
Note: It's not my best edit ever, sadly my editing software really had it in for me this week trying to end my PC every time I attempted to work on this project.

Great video. I remember the main entrance to "The George Hotel" was actually in The Square. I lived there as a kid 1968-1970, when my parents ran it.
Thanks
Very generous, thank you so much!
Don't forget Tavern Club now Haddon Court also Three Shires in Spring Gardens back of what was Duncan & Fosters cake shop , Hole in the Wall below Savoy Hotel, Barbecue Night Club. Studio Club College Rd but less said about that the better ( if you know you know)😁😁😁
Used to be a long thin pub/bar near the end of Spring Gardens that I used to drink in, in about 1987. Used to drink in the Bakers most nights back in the day.
Was it Charlies Bar?
@@BonkeyDollocks I don't remember it as that.
There was an additional pub on Spring Gardens - The Hardwick - which was demolished in the early 80's to make an access road to the new shopping precinct (between what was Miller's Cafe and the present Cancer Research charity shop)
The Gaslight was originally The Spa Bar (now AMP)
was it a long thin type of place?
Yes . The bar was on the right as you went in and two rooms lead to the kitchen and bottlestore. There was a cellar under the main bar area.@@fasthracing
@@NineStones Cool thanks for the info. I used to drink in there it must of been just before it closed.
Fantastic video Leo 👌🏼 a couple missing are the Fairfield Conservative club behind the Bull, the Royal British legion which is behind the museum/old court building. Then one which a work colleague told me was the hardwick hotel which was demolished to make the precinct delivery access road.
Holmfield bakery was where the new builds are, it must have closed early 1990s and became the Buxton spa bakery based on harper hill industrial estate.
Keep up the good work 👌🏼👍🏼
Very interesting and well presented video.
Many thanks!
Well that was a walk down memory lane 😂 There’s a couple missing, what about the Gaslight ….. and giving it that name prob tells you I haven't been drinking in Buxton for a lot of years
Hoffman bar used to be harpur hill club
Missing is The Ale Stop near the market
Thanks very interesting and sad how many pubs now have gone

Hi Leo. Great video. Have you seen and read my 2022 book 'Buxton Pubs - Stories of our past and present inns, alehouses, taverns, pubs and bars' published by Buxton Civic Association? Cheers Julian Cohen
Sadly I have not.
Available in Buxton from Poole's Cavern, Scriveners bookshop, the Visitor Centre or Buxton Trading Post. Cheers Julian
