Wellington did a cracking pint of Boddies but wasn't quite as good as The Pointsman did back in the late 80s, early 90s. When i worked nights at Stamford group I'd climb over the wall and sink half a dozen or so.
No problem pal, used to go in the Pointy as well, can’t believe how small it looks since knocked down. As you say, cracking pint of Boddies hand pumped beer, top class.
Best pint ever....rumour has it there was a stream running though the cellar.
Some good Boddy's pubs back in the day I used to frequent inc The Pointsman. Church Inn in Hyde, Bulls Head & Wello Stalybridge.
I wagged it once at primary school and came home at the right time only to hear the front door knocking. I was at the back door in the back yard.....Mum went to the door and a lad from school asked if I was in. She said he isn't home from school yet. The grassing **** goes "oh he hasn't been in school"
In the cupboard when I was sure it was home time sneaked downstairs out the front door round the back and in the back door ‘your home early’ yeah they lets us out early.
The Royal Oak...small boozer right outside the brewery . Strngeways. That was the mothership for Boddies. If you could get to the bar past all the fat draymen.
ahh the pointsman, used to go in there after the game, bulls head on a friday night, i heard they found a cannabis farm in the bulls head a couple of months ago
No. The Vale has been sanitised now. There are no longer burnt out cars or feral kids loitering about.
We used to scrap down the bottom of Rose hey lane and down near bluebell woods.
I remember Newton Heath fighting against Failsworth, near the football fields on Brookdale Park, Farm St and Paddock Lane School.
no droylsden either
I think I may have my wires crossed with the dates. I'm talking about the early '70s.
