Magnet pub in Southey

[best sheff 10]

well in the end it got a really bad reputation. I really myself personally think that the Southey Club, just really took all its Business. All the sensible drinkers went were beer was cheaper and entertainment better (southery club) and well lets say the less sensible ones stayed in the magnet. Thus its bad reputation. But why pulled magnet down, well when the magnet was closed down, the empty building was set on fire, thus making re-opening impossible. Hence pulled down. That's my opinion for whats it's worth.

Pattricia, has your probably aware all working mens clubs have much cheaper beer prices, and back in 80's and 90's the entertainment was, well lets say 'entertainable'. Well i saw some great acts, but then i'm easily pleased.

does anyone remember the magnet pub at southey green?? closing it down......was it a good or bad choice???

 

From 1967 to 1970 I think we had our dinnertime there most days.That is PWD employees based at the Southey Depot.

Dinnertime was 12.00 to 12.30.The bitter served was ,and I quote,"Like nectar"

 

We used to play darts, a game of " Life" and the pot could each 7shillings and sixpence or I think now 37.5p. Quite well worth winning then.

 

I never did win,but I do remember the great times we had and the comradeship of the lads I worked with back then.

The bitter was great,just the one pint,but the Magnet was even better,a peeny or tuppence dearer...!!!!!
