T_Bone said:Yeah it did when Jakesy had it. Then he had the Britannia for a while (now the vets), but that was short lived. Only see Jakesy in the Newmarket these days. Remember him losing a few teeth on the way back from the 2-2 with Liverpool when we got relegated and the coach got bricked in Collyhurst off the rags.stony said:anymore than 2sheiks said:I think it was the most pubs in a square mile or something like that. On the road through the town, every other building was a pub until you got to a junction which takes you to pilsworth. There was a pub on the corner called the brickhouse.
Used to be called the Bridge, before that.

Pub crawls were great. Pint in every pub from one end to the other and then try and do the return leg. Good job all the chippys were dotted between the pubs to help get some stodge in or else you had no chance.
City coach used to go from there.
It got bricked at Stoke too when we got relegated. There was kids on the coach and the inbred twats put the windows through.
A friend of mine had the Bridge for a very short time, he had the Woolpack for a while too.
