City landmarks not grounds or training grounds.

No one mentioned the boutique Summerbee and Best owned in town yet?

Sure it was Cross Street because I know they had one behind Kendals / House of Fraser on Motor street. The first scene at the start of a film called The Lovers filmed outside

My local was the Princess on Mauldeth rd yet never drank there on match day(Same with the Fallowfield apart from the day we were relegated against Liverpool - both flats now)... as we always headed for the Parkside. Roses bar was a great place on a weekend. Not very big but a good night. Probably had more on the door than customers.

And before him Roy Clarke

Got my first set of golf clubs from there, served by the great man himself, my Dad was thrilled to meet him. Roy was a lovely chap, he came to our branch a few years ago. Charmed everyone!

The Talbot pub is not there anymore. It’s just a crap looking block of flats now

Thanks for that info. I suspected it might be gone. I walked past it for years going to school at Burnage High every day. Nothing stays the same.

Han Solo would give the Claremont a miss. The first pub where I could buy cans not in town. Still open(or was)as far as I'm aware.
