Blues in Failsworth

[feedmpenzaandhewillscore]

Really don't remember. I don't recall seeing it though. Like you say though, don't think i have ever seen it anywhere other than Indian restaurants.

Other random fact about the Nelson, The Stone Roses decided to reform in there.

Mani used to live on Lord Lane not far from the Nelson.

Pretty sure he was a rag. I did know him, when i lived on hulmes road but not that well. There was an off licence called the whisky all inn just where he lived. And on a sub station wall right next it will the stone roses plastered all over it. Got to admit that i didn't put the 2 together for a long time. I was never very bright.

Used to play football with him and his brother in the cage at Holy family church. He never admitted to being a rag. ; )

Where was the whiskey? I remember the name but can't place it.

What year you looking at. I'm guessing about 1980. If memory serves me right, he was a decent player. Very quick.

Right near the holy family just before it coming from the Nelson on the left hand side. Shops are still there now but not a off licence anymore.

Failsworth was still good for pubs back in 2016. The Bricklayers was my particular favourite but you could have a pint all over. Even when I lived in Droylsden, I’d get a taxi over from Edge Lane across the railway crossing and on to Oldham Road that way to go out. You’d otherwise haven found me in The Halfway House or The Grove.

I moved away at the end of 1978. So 77 - 78.

Right, I remember it. There was a small co-op there years ago.
