Nice nearby towns with pubs/restaurants

Unsure where that is. I drank in The Willowbank on Smithdown Road.

Just looked, and it's still going! 14 Church Road North.
Had a mate whose family lived in Wavertree, went in a lot back in the day. He was a Scouse anomaly, he hated Liverpool and couldn't wait to leave, lol. True to his word he moved to Wiltshire, then Australia and never returned. (Superb pro lead guitarist by the way, played in some big name bands through the years)

 
7 pages in and only 2 people have mentioned Duckingfield.
One who hasn't been since 1980 and one who simply, but bizarrely, only mentions Morrisons.

It would be wrong to say its the land that time forgot as time never knew about it in the first place.
 
went to loads of punk gigs there in the early 80's

Went to most of the gigs there , some cracking nights . Blitz was a great gig there and GBH was mental

1982, in point of fact.

and @Pablo123 makes 3 of us, plus your good self = 4
which i'd say, out of 66 posts is, in point of fact, a very healthy percentage and may well sway the o.p. in its favour.
we can only hope.

after the mayflower, drifters was the best place for those sort of gigs.

blitz were really good, weren't they.

think they were from chapel-on-le-frith,
along with violators, who also played at drifters


gbh are still at it, you know.
seen them a couple of times in past few years & they were better than back then
 
thinking back now, other bands i saw at drifters...

crash (from hebden, where there was another really good punk venue - hebden trades club)

Blitz were from Buxton I believe , had a real change of direction which didn’t go down to well with the hardcore following . Ah The Mayflower , did you go to the DK gig . Now that was something else
 
There are loads of country house/inns with good restaurants and rooms. look at The Traddock near Settle.

4 (four) 3 plus 1 = 4 no way. Not a chance. 3 yes, you 3. Me, never. I mean, you went 43 years ago and you're still in rehab.

1982 + 43 years = 2025

Went there last week with my Sister looking for some charity shops, a coffee, and a cake.

No charity shops. Loads of restaurants and bars. In fact, the whole high street was full of restaurants and bars.

The place is absolutely dripping with money. The restaurants and bars were full.

That being the case, I would assume the restaurants are pretty decent. Rich people expect good food and good service.

All great bands , if I remember rightly The Hoax supported The Exploited, Mike Joyce was the drummer of The Hoax , Dukinfields greatest ever band ; )
 
Lymm some nice pubs and restaurants and a few nice walks.

La Boheme being a lovely restaurant.
Went there for my Auntie’s 70th last month and it’s a cracking restaurant.

Not many French restaurants in and around Manchester either and that’s the best.

Do you mean Hale?

There’s nothing really in Hale Barns apart from the Bull’s Head.
