It's nice to know that someone reads the old posts but am a bit confused by the last one.

Yes the Barley Corn had a very bad reputation in the 50's/ 60's, I went in there for a laugh with some of my mates when I was 18, before going to the late night dance at the city hall, it was full of old bags & poof's, a couple of old blokes were in there that were dressed up as women, a real eye opener.

It was really scruffy, I remember getting a glass of beer that had lipstick on it, I left it & never went in again.

Hi awoollen

depending on your age you may know my brother-in-law Albert White, he used to play darts for the Railway many years ago . He also used to drink in the Grimesthorpe club and Bowling Green.

just a little test of your memory, I met a guy today who we both went to school with he was the first lad I believe to have a tattoo on his arm, a small imp if memory serves me well, can you remember his name.

Great to have you on board the "Grimesthorpe" Forum. I am trying to think when it was I last saw you, I think we bumped into each other at a FA Cup semi-final , I think that would be Highbury in 1983. Are you going to the Ball on Friday for the reunion ?
