Dannyzz   10 #1 Posted September 25, 2010 Anyone got memories of this spit and sawdust type place? I went in many times. So much smoke, it was unreal - even though I smoke, I retched! I noticed it was closed down, when did this happen? Cheers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
chem1st   10 #2 Posted September 25, 2010 It closed down a few years back under crack house legislation I think? Never to be reopened as a pub again.  It used to be a great little pub to visit. A few years ago now, I'd call in and buy a beer, just so I could sit down and smoke a spliff in the city centre. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

jomarch   12 #5 Posted September 28, 2010 John Angel went to the Gate at Wadsley bridge after the Cannon- but I don't know after that. He split from his wife too. He was a nice guy- but no idea where he is now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
