So many great pubs and clubs lost. On the plus side, our High Street Post Office closed, and one of the smaller chains bought it, kept the frontage absolutely intact, just renaming it 'The Old Post Office', inside is a traditional pub, with a great atmosphere, but no food! Which is a bonus, no smells or dirty plates, just good beer and great staff. Such a change from the Spoons model
Hi Neil. Thanks for watching and for the comment. An ex post office converted into a pub sounds like a great idea. Ours is now a private house. I spend a lot of time in Tywyn they built a brand new pub on the sea front where there hadn’t been a pub before. So rare these days when many are closing.
As a Wollaston youth in the early 1960's, I supped in most of the Kinver pubs. I had my "stag do" at The Plough and my wedding reception at the Stewpony. Also spent many nights at the Cider House, Quatt with a group of car mechanics from Stour Valley Motors, Stourbridge. 'Lived in Kinver for42 years but now live in Peak District so it's great to relive those days by seeing old haunts.
Talking of the 'Cider House' in Quatt near Bridgnorth, I went there once in the 1960's with a group from work. Merrily drinking away on 'scrumpy' cider not really being aware of effects. Staggered into bed on the Friday evening, I didn't get out of bed, other than to 'throw up', until the Monday to go to work. I have never felt so ill in all my life, I thought I was going to die. I've never touched cider since.
Remember when loads of people used to arrive on the weekends for a pub crawl. And the badges that said 'I've been kissed in Pinver' 🤣
Thanks for bringing this information together. Really enjoyed it 🍻🍻
