@@herrickmaster77 Oddfellows Arms I remember but that seems like a Million Years ago. I seem to remember the Locals called it Snuffies. Shame about the Red Lion. I always call in there when I come back for a visit. Mind you it's 12 years since the last visit

The Railway pub was on East Bond St., not Brown St (North or South). Great film collage, though. Thank you.

[@harveyblear1254]

The photo of the Railway pub on Brown Street (1 minute, 18 seconds), also shows Millers estate agent. The Railway pub wasn't actually situated there. It was round the corner

Hi Ian,
Well these pubs have been there for many years ,in fact a lot of them are now closed down and have been for a while. I no longer live in Leigh and haven't done so for 30 years but the last I visit I made I did have a drink in one or two.
Can't understand you don't remember any of them unless your thinking of another town called Leigh.

[@camcomics1084]

I was coming out of the red lion pub and trod in some dog muck, mind you it could be worse, I could have been coming out of the red dog and trod in some lion muck. thanks to the rochdale cowboy for that one.
