Rattners Rest was probably not the place you may have been lokking for because I understand that it was only open in the early 90s for a few years. It was a small gig venue in the basement of the Globe Works, but it shut because it was off the beaten track at that time.
And it would have still been an old works when the infirmary was open.

I've been in many a pub whose clientel consisted of corpses who should've been put 6 foot under many a moon ago.

The grave yard was very close to the don Brewery. Across from the Rossco.

I know a pub today that has the ashes of an old bartender over the bar

I suppose they would be handy if you were dead drunk. :rolleyes:

He could pull a good pint of Rogues Dead Guy Ale.

I think the pub you are on about was the one on Bridge street beside the old Avert scale works at the bottom of Water lane.There was a gravestone in the bar there.

Just remembered,Wheatsheaf was the name of the pub.
