I wonder if anyone could help me with this, I'm just trying to think...
Where the TESCO has been built on the site of the old barracks, was there a pub right next door?
I know there were quite a few pubs around Deysbrook Lane.
Is the one opposite TESCO still there? Was it the Deysbrook?
The Deysie is still there Ross, I photographed it a couple of weeks ago for my site.
Ross. Someone has mentioned to me that you might be thinking of the Princess that was a big pub set back on a car park on the corner of Deysbrook lane and Princess Drive. That was demolished a while ago after being closed down due to undesirables if I remember correctly.
I think you've hit the nail on the head there, the pub I'm thinking of was set back off the road, right on the corner next to TESCO. The last time I was up there all that remained was two sign posts - probably one at each gateway.
This might help???
The pub opposite is a Social Club I think; There is also a small parade opposite Tesco's now.
Yes, thanks for that. I thought that was where the pub had stood.
