    I never did go into Freewheelers, I had friends who went but I always went upstairs into Sloanes.

    It was called Wilsons and was on the bottom of Wood Street in town. It would be great to see some pics of either the outside and especially the inside.

    Just thougt I would clarify a few things. Firstly I am Sadies friend he died in 1993 he owned Wilsons ,Bar Royale and Freewheelers. In the old days Freewheelers was a very posh club called the Ascot and Sadie bought the whole lot,I managed Freewheelers for a few years before
    Sadie died although I was originally in the Bar Royal. I remember all the names that have been mentioned in this forum. Arthur Styles he uses to walk around with hand grenades and all other things . also Mark Thomas Foz Roy Cambo they were all doormen also Stu Kirstie Jon Wright and Arthur from Wilsons. It was a good place till Sadie died then his stopid sister took over and ruined the place I went on holiday ans when I came back she had sold the place for 3,000 pounds it is now worth 3 million. hope this helps Arthur

    Do you all mind, ur making me feel old!!! My hubby Lou (Hook) worked the door @ Freewheelers for a few years. All the years I went there i only ever knew of 2 fights, and I was preggers when both happened! one of them Steve made me and 'Chelle go in the room with the barrels and the other one there was nearly a riot coz preggy me got caught between Steve and someone who wanted to take a swing at him! Dont think Dev or Gareth ever moved so fast in there lives!
    Agree with Arthur about Sadies sister-she was a cow of the 1st order.
    I used to have to go down to the Bar Royale (back stairs) for ice!!!

    Great recollections you lot, it sounded like a community rather than a drinking hole.
