Its well worth it even if just for the strange other-worldy feeling it emanates. Also told there is an underground lake in the mountain held back by ice and rubble which if it ever breaks through...
Some snaps of Parys (Copper) Mountain in Anglesey where some of my family live. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parys_Mountain
Its been seen in episodes of Dr. Who and I'm told used as a location in...
Oh my word - I remember the guy with the cat always on his shoulder! No one would believe that now, but it stayed there quite happy and purring no matter what!
Ken - we called him Grizzly (you...
Very descriptive Joan, I can almost smell the oil! Would love to know more about this place - any photo's?
Nice on Chris :handclap:
That Fromos made his point and he was polite and he stayed on subject...:)
He was always getting mistaken for a guy called Andy who at one time DJ'd in the Riders, and don't think the guy on the end ever worked the bar.
Wow got to know more about that! There's a guy...
Seem to remember they kicked everyone out and set up lights so that the balcony was supposed to be the way in and the cast came down the stairs into the main bar as if it were a cellar. Could well be...
It was called the Swinging Apple - there's threads on here about it somewhere but a little before my time. Didn't know about Val - used to frequent the Marlborough a lot including very drunken stay...
Thought Sadie owned the lease on the whole block of Wilsons, Bar Royale Wheelers/Riders? Bar Royale being the gay bar sandwhiched between the two biker places. When he died his sister took over and...
Ahem...(Quicky hides SuperLambBanana Keyring, TShirt and Mug)... though planting trees I like :handclap:

Don't remember them but do remember a German lad...
Didn't they also have punk / metal / hardcore gigs there at one point in the early 90s?
Great photo of a building I've always liked. Never could figure out if the 60s/70s (?) lash on top floor addition amused or appalled me though!
Wasn't that bar something to do with the union NALGO?
Park View Juniors and Roby Comp.
I was in it last week - called the Blackburne Arms then as well. Gone a bit upmarket though.
Nice shot though - is that Fiddlers Ferry power station in the background?
He he - I worked there in the old basement room years after the club shut. Its empty again and last I heard a club owner may be interested - Tiffany's 2???
Was Tiffany's actually in India buildings and you used the lightwell staircase at the side (Brunswick St?) to get in?
So many pub and club names in this thread my head is spinning... The Harrington - did that become McCartneys or something for a while? Michelle Clares, Shanks (what about Shanks 2?), The Cumberland...
Just the Barry who runs Vulcan rehearsal rooms always complains that no-one has successful ever has ever been there (he does this with humour by the way, to wind up the bands practicing there...
Its a great photo.
Why do you take a guess at Vulcan street? Just curious.:neutral:
