fantastic stories guys, brings back loads of great memories.
This film ' coast to coast' , it sounds intersting (even though lenny henry is in it)
I will look it up, was it really shot in wilsons ?
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 wong though...
I've still not found any Wilsons photo's - have you? Nearest I've come to it is one of Wood Street (opposite direction from my last one and the Wilsons wall is just visible on the left)!
And this one of some group of regulars looking pretty drunk (well more drunk than pretty maybe) standing outside the place, the big metal bars on windows were the only way I recognised it.
Still rooting through old cupboards for more - may yet find some...

Ah I recognize the faces but don't know the names, did the guy by the girl have a brother that looks like him?
Also did the guy at the far right ever work behind the bar?
The guy next to him I saw in the Swan quite a few times, but they were just faces in the bar, same as I was to them
Hi does anyone remember Dinos in wood street mid to late 60's great biker hangout was down in cellar just up from the swan (i think) had loads of bikers there. Remember granda reports doing feature on it and had us bikers following thier camera car round town, Happy Days

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 who used to post to this forum, ex 60s Liverpool Biker (complete with Triton) who'd probably know - think he still posts to a group called scouse bad lads so will try to message him there.
Yes they were a local band around late 80s early 90s, and I hope I'm right about what film it was! Those cheap cans of Breaker had a way of altering memories!

hi Jimmin105174, I remember Dino's well. but every time I try to post my reply to you, I am told, I am not logged in. so I don't know what ya do about that, any mods reading this, I have given up after three attempts. No problem posting this quote though. Jimmin I have tried and tried to post my memories of Dino's, even opened it in a new topic, it's done now it's sorted so have a read.

Trust and you will be trusted, said the Liar to the Fool.
Regular in the Wilsons 1981.
This pic was taken in Ireland in 1981, the hair and ciggies may have gone now, but i still drink Snakebite!
Those passages connected to a club called the 'Timepiece' in Fleet st (at the back of Wood st).
Someone was telling me that they wandered through the passages from the Wood st side and then went through a doorway and found themselves in the Timepiece club in full throttle ! They had a dance in there then went back over to the Wood st side.
The passages were for a fire escape exit route. (we think)
why has this thread been moved to 'Architecture Discussion' ?
i couldnt find it, i had to go to google and do a search on wilsons bar, wood street
