what year was the motor bike club?

The chip shop round back at the Captive Queen was very handy.

motorbike club was around 1972

Two of the pubs are churches, now!!

The Captive Queen has become "the Church Of The Nazarene",
and The Fellbrigg is now a joint church that encompasses St Leonards and, IIRC, St Pauls, C of E churches (St Paul's is the one which used to be on East Bank Road.)

Quite ironic isn't it, knowing some of the stuff that went on in these pubs!

Why did the pubs close? :clap:

Because there's hardly anybody living around here anymore. The place has been like a ghost town for the last few years.
The brewery decided to close the Jervis when someone drank himself to death and was ignored for ages. Apparently everyone in the pub thought he was asleep.
I think the other closures were to do with falling profits.

Hi vidster, it's a darn shame, I saw the all lot go up when brand new.

Just a slight oversight in the location! :hihi:.
I do remember Troggy though!. I remember him going in the Manor hotel with a shotgun and closing the place down. I also have nightmares about his wheelbarrow and that distinctive squeek. It reminded me of Freddy Kreuger scraping his knives down the wall.
Ohh..... youve gone and taken me back to my childhood now. Sod it!, i'm off to build a den on the Manor fields.

EDIT: Can you remember that program, 'On the Manor'?. Troggy was on that all the time. My uncle was on it too, he was one of the three miners that were always being interviewed.
Ahhhh.. Happy days.....

the chip shop behind the captive was alright until somone **** in the friers in the late 80s if you bought chips from there after that date seek medical help:help: :gag:

can anyone remember one sunday afternoon when someone rolled a smoke bomb into the captive alan b

I remember going in to the Captive Queen for the first time. I'd been told it was full of smack heads and nutters who'd sooner rip your head off than say 'alreight'.

I went in with kblade and we had a brilliant time. After 5 minutes we were asked if we wanted to join in on the pool tables and the night flew by. The landlord had to virtually kick us all out at the end of the night :hihi:

Been Brought Up At Lion At Jervis Remember Standing Outside Lion With Me Glass Of Dilute Blackcurrent Waiting For My Auntie To Come Out Gone 12 At Night I Still Go In Now And Then All My Family Are Regulars There !!!

Troggy is now a regular in the Elm Tree at Manor Top..

I heard he was barred from the place,he was drinking down at the ball not too long ago but i think he's barred from there aswell,the elm tree is in a right state at the moment but i'm not surprised with who they let in there now.

The Horse and Lion makes a short appearence in the latest Arctic Monkeys Video.

The Jervis Lum was demolished last year, as the population base of Norfolk Park diminished due to the extensive demolition on the estate. The pub was named after the local stream - which is set in a deep ravine and is part of the listed Norfolk Heritage Park. The Jervis Lum is culverted in the vicinity of the former pub.

The Felbrigg has become a thriving church, known as The Beacon (St Pauls & St Leonards). The Captive Queen is indeed now the Church of the Nazarene, as Plain Talker confirmed.

The Horse and Lion is now the only remaining pub in Norfolk Park. It has a unique architectural design, and was built circa 1960s. There is a currently a suggestion that it should be made a listed bulding. I'm collating views on this idea. What's your take on this idea?

I think it's a terrible idea.

I think it's a terrible idea.

Do you want to give any reasons why you think it's a terrible idea Andy?

I got plastered on my 18th in the Jervis, my mates kept feeding me Gold Label. :D I remember the old fella dying and nobody noticing, may even have been in there that day, was a long time ago and memory is a bit hazy.

So does any of you know my dad:- Dean Oldham
My uncle: Malcolm Oldham
My mum:- Sandra Oldham (Parkin)
My Uncle:- Steve Parkin
My nan and Grandan:- Brenda and Brian Oldham

My mum and dad lived on St aidens Place, just up the road from the Captive.
My nan and Grandad lived in the green tower block just up the banking from the Captive (st aidens place).

All regulars in the Captive!

If you do please reply withyour details and let me know!

Otherwise please drop me a pm.

Because it's a horrible building. As the rest of the area is re-developed, do we really want a 1960s concrete mess in the middle of our houses?

Listing it will mean it's difficult to change the pub, or modernise it, or even demolish and replace it. I can forsee it becoming too expensive to maintain, and so it will end up a boarded up eyesore. Like Park Hill Flats, on a smaller scale.

I reckon it's a barmy idea.:loopy: It's just an ugly piece of 1960s crud. Pull the bugger down and build something more in keeping with the modern environment. Same goes for that other pile of hideous concrete crap, Park Hill Flats.:gag:

If you had to pick a boozer in that part of the city to be listed, then it would surely have to be the Vulcan, on Northern Avenue, with the magnificent panoramic view out over Sheffield through that massive window.:thumbsup:

Thanks for your views andy & hagardriley. I'll pass these on to the council officer who's approached me with this suggestion.
