TedW Â Â 14 #7 Posted February 19, 2018 Thanks Clarelou, I knew Chad very well but lost touch when he went to London working, and I moved to Leicester, Tamworth and Lancashire. I will contact Phil Watson and let him know the sad news, Phil still lives on Sharrow Lane. We all had some great times, must have sunk a thousand gallons of beer between us over the years!

soft ayperth   11 #8 Posted February 19, 2018 In the 50s and 60s it had a reputation as a spot to pick up a prostitute (either gender). Big Ada who plied her greengrocery and flower trade on Dixon Hill frequented it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
goldenfleece   11 #9 Posted February 22, 2018 Didn't the old Barley corn become Henry's.  The Barleycorn changed its name to THE CAMBRIDGE in the mid 1970's and cleaned itself up a bit. I think it was the building that became CUTLERS bar and is now an arts centre or something....correct me if I am wrong though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Jim Hardie   524 #11 Posted February 22, 2018 I was told it changed to Moorfoot tavern so not too sure.  The Moorfoot Tavern was originally the Whetstone. On Cumberland Street, a fair distance from the Barleycorn/Henry's. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Ontarian1981 Â Â 10 #12 Posted February 22, 2018 The Moorfoot Tavern was originally the Whetstone. On Cumberland Street, a fair distance from the Barleycorn/Henry's. Â And The Whetstone was a "round the corner" replacement for the Travellers, if my memory is not playing tricks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
