Any help, I am looking for the name of the pub/cafe inside the old Ribble bus station in Skelhorne Street by Lime Street. Most of us can remember it but no-one can recall the name, cheers!

Just had a thought....
Something is saying The Painted Wagon...or...The Wagon Wheel ?
I thought it was just the ribble bar. Found on another forum it was known as Telfords Bar at for the last few years
PhilipG put some photos of the old building on here, but none of the bar itself

I drank there regular and remember it being called that... it was run by an Irish lad called Tommy Stack, who went to work for my sister after the bar closed in The Lorne on Brownlow Hill and The Farnworth on Kensington... Tommys mother ran The Ribble Bar before him.. I'll try and find out if Tommys son knows if it had a proper name.... my uncle drove Ribble buses from the station.. he referred to it as The Ribble Bar as well...
I worked there in the 1960s, and "The Ribble Bar" sounds about right.

ABC Cinemas used "The Painted Wagon" name when they converted some of the rear stalls of their cinemas into pubs.Quote:
