Has the Wordsworth Tavern closed, might be the wrong pub but I heard a car went into the closed pub?

Went in tavern late 70's onwards mainly at lunchtimes to play Crash, Dominoes or Darts. Colley club on a Sunday lunchtime, my dad joined Colley Club on first day it opened.

 

Very very distantly I seem to remember going to infant/junior school with a girl Caroline Green who's parents ran Wordsworth tavern at the time, that would be mid to late 1960's.

I opened the new tavern on it's first day of trading.I worked for Smiths at that time and used to do a bit of relief managing for a few landlords .Remember filling all the shelves up the day before and getting it ready for the big opening.Me and a landlord who was the gaffer at the Penguin on Shiregreen Colin Goddard opened it as a favour for the proper landlord who for some reason could not be there.It really looked well but I have not been in it since.

the landlord when i started going in around 1988 was Mr Albert House and his wife who kept the wordsworth tavern immaculately clean

[phoppy1 10]

Both were my locals, 1969 to 1974 names that come to mind Joe Dempsy ,Pat Deakin, Ken Wright , Gudge, Dave Biddles,.

Big Cyril the committee man at the WMC

My aunt and uncle Charlie and Flo Bradley ran Wordsworth Tavern in the 70s!

I did a stint behind the bar during the 80’s. Albert was the landlord, lovely bloke. His wife used cook Sunday dinners, with delicious smells of beef, gravy and Yorkshire puddings wafting downstairs, I was starving by closing time! Some right characters in there - Gordon Biddles,  Sam Hurst, Joe Mooney etc.

i think the old tavern was built in 1951, best room was called, doves cottage, and tap room was something , rainbow.
