as I said earlier, the Captive and the Fellbrigg are still standing, but are used as church buildings now.Â
I don't know the Victoria, at all where is/ was that?
Â
the Olive Grove seemed to be one of those pubs that's shut as much as it's open.
Â
Earl Marshal and the Arbour' are still going.
Â
the Traveller's Rest was shut the last time I went past (havent been past in an age!) I'm not sure if it is still standing or not.
Â
\\\\\The Vulcan was up there but that is shut too now
-
It appears the tap room is now a chip shop
-
I am thinking of the Carbrook Conservative Club. Was that also demolished? I'm pretty sure it closed years ago.And what was/ is the pub called next to the steelworks?
Â
The Wentworth is next to the steel works and just above it used to be the Lambpool
-
how about visiting some of the Little Mesters workshops they are disappearing fast.Â
Don't know how true it is. But was told there are still some Little Mesters workshops in Leahs yard on Cambridge St.

My lasting memory of these flats was going to a party with my ex after a night in the Horse and Lion. And while we were there the host thought it would be great fun to hang his girlfriend over the balcony by her feet. We were about ten floors up. I couldn't get out of there quick enough.
-
I live 200 yards from the bottom of hole house lane. sleep with the windows open and here nothing. Don't let the steelworks put you off. I have been up here 22 yrs now and love it. One thing you'll find is for your money you'll get a lot more house. If you have Kids the four schools within 5 minutes are phenomenal. And walk to the top of the hill and you can walk for miles in beautiful countryside giving you all the peace and quiet you'll ever need. And as to all the Bull written about it been bad even the rough areas are better than been in town.

What a shame Had most of my post pubescent age in this pub and carried on til been barred when I was 26. However some of my greatest memories now lie in a premier supermarket. how sad is that
-
Only thing that has changed from the wap and the down stairs bar at the casbah is that the DJ is not in the same place.
-
Cheers. Would love to know if anyone knows the locations of any other old works
-
Recently I have been out with my camera taking photos of some of the industrial heritage of our great city. I have come across some pictures on the net of the bow works. Unfortunately I have no idea where these were can anyone help please.

In the 80's I used to drink in the horse and lion and dated a girl from around there. I've just been wondering. What was on the land where the flats were and the houses before they were built. Never seen any pictures pre 1960
