Botham Street/Ruthin Street, the streets are still there but not the pub which was Tennant's / Whitbread's beers.

For me it was The Cannon. I could buy cigarettes, perfume, razors, aftershave and much much more at less than the price in the shops from there!

You could even order something from certain customers and within half an hour they had been to their supplier and got it for you at a huge discount price! Even Wilkinsons could not compete on price.

 

I remember it being a druggies pub. Full of delinquents. Was that you?
