Your memoires of the Elm Tree pub and Arbrouthorne Hotel

Something to looked forward another petrol station no doubt the same boring design seen elsewhere. Unlike the familiar Elm Tree façade.

Hi Crookedspire, I got it wrong i should have said Asda not

Morrisons, Cheers.

You could hire someone from the Arbourthorne to do some dirty work for you, that's verbal and physical assault !

Bit like the "Roundhouse " eh?

Where was the Roundhouse and were the Irish lads in there the same ones who dished out the physical from the Arbourthorne.

The name Collins springs to mind !!

The Roundhouse was, I think, a nickname, for a pub in Heeley that in the 70's was a place you could get personal damage arranged, for the right price, with no questions asked. Never went in the place myself, but heard lots of stories from friends who were regulars there.

Sorry but that made me laugh....wondering how you can make petrol stations exciting

Once went in Elm tree after work with a mate, and he got attacked by a woman on the way out, can't remember why. Wasn't someone he knew.

Undreage drinking at the Elm Tree Saturday nights before walking down to the Embassy dance hall! Circa 1954

Elm Tree regular Jeff Crawshaw from Ridgeway Drive a window cleaner sat bottom corner of concert room complete with leather and bucket come rain or come shine at every early bar .

I remember Mrs Worral going to the Elm Tree at least twice a week in the late fifties and early sixties, she lived on the Woodthorpe, Fishponds Road?, she caught the 71 bus from the Manor Top after the pub closed at night, she got off at Hastillar Road and walked down to her home from there, she wasn't a young woman either, she was always a bit tipsy but never offended anyone, I went to school with her son Joe.

I remember Ray Stewart he used to do loads of pubs was regularly at the Windsor also.

 

Also remember "Gaspin' Gus's Roadshow' at the Arbour

 

Always wondered whatever happened to Gaspin' Gus
