Person6 Â Â 10 #114 Posted February 6, 2018 In common with another user I bought my first alcohol at the Fox House Inn. My mates and I had been told that the landlord was flexible in his application of the licensing laws during the daytime so we caught the bus there, walked in and bought half a pint of bitter. Age 15. Within a few weeks we'd picked up the confidence to try other pubs, and for a while we became regulars on Fridays at the Scottish Queen on the Park Hill Flats by skipping P.E. in the afternoon.

Guest makapaka   #117 Posted February 8, 2018 How was it? Not much out there about the Crows Nest- I think I've only ever seen one picture!  I’m fascinated by the crows nest - the idea of a pub high up in a block of flats - was that the case?

Person6 Â Â 10 #118 Posted February 8, 2018 You only had a half there (or perhaps more) and how did you get home ? Â Messed about a bit in Burbage Brook and on the rocks, then caught the bus back. The plan was to try and buy a half. Don't know why now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
alan p   15 #119 Posted February 8, 2018 Hello mackapaka, The Crowsnest wasn’t high up it was on the pavement along with the shops, but if you went on St Johns road you the had to go up 1 floor it all depended on how you approached it.
