Dose anyone remember the Chuck Ranch on Holme Lane ( Malin Bridge ) ?

I remember it blew up in around 1984-85.

Did anyone go there, and does anyone know what shop was there before?

I remember the chuck ranch. When I was little my dad took me there for a burger, it was only a few days before it burnt down I remember the swinging saloon doors that were attached to the two posts you can see today. my dad was a fireman at rivlin station and i remember him saying it looked like an insurance job so I suppose thats why the building is still empty and derilict

My Mum took me there for my birthday just before it burnt down. It's STILL derelict?

I loved it - I'd never been anywhere like that before. It was probably the first time I ever had a burger.

I thought it burnt earlier than 84/85...more like 82? *shrug*
