Does anyone remember Chester's Brewery and their beers?

I remember their dark mild.

My old fella used to have a contract for painting there, I don't recall ever seeing him sober around then.

My old fella referred to Chesters mild as Fighting mild.

I seem to recollect, my Mam referred to it as grounds for divorce.

I remember Ladywell Flats. In fact I visited friends of a friend there on the day I was expecting my baby. Can't remember their surname but there were twin lads in the family called Dean and Craig and an older lad called Anthony.

Anyone remember the Unemployment Benefit Office on Aytoun Street? It's still there, boarded up.
It was a complete shithole but anyone I've worked with that spent a few years there said it was the best office they ever worked in.

The labour exchange on Aytoun St is and has been for years a much talked about issue as to what will happen to it. Much like the Fire station around the corner.

Must be at least 30 years since it was open Mac?

I've often wondered why it hasn't been used since it closed so thanks for that.
I remember going to a Union meeting there in about 1987 and it was just a few years after that it closed.

Did a very good mild until late 90s; the "fighting" tag more to do with the roughness of the pubs than the strength of the beer.
