I bet those lads could tell a few interesting stories about the area in days gone by.

Cheers cp.. glad you like the shot..
All my family bevvied in The Throstles cp.. some still do today that live opposite..
my Dad as well years ago.. being a born and bred Scottie Roader till he died..
I bevvied in there a lot myself, all the 'Lads' from years back were.. and still are, my mates..
(I played pool further down Scottie in my Mams pub The Pontack outside Gerard Gardens...
I took on their top boy in The Throstles on his territory and smacked his bottom...I did that
in most of the pubs up and down Scottie before getting barred out... for winning too many Christmas pool knockouts every year... The Pie Shop..The Australian.. Pat Molloys.. The Box House.. barred out them all..
all my mates now these lads, happy days, with great memories..)
Gerard..
