Man shot dead in Droylsdon/ Cotton Tree Pub

[squirtyflower]

There are No pubs in Clayton anymore worth going in now. Everything has shut down so the pubs in droylsden are the only place to go now. We used to go in the Humphrey cheetham, was gutted when it shut

A mate's brother had the Humphrey Chetham for a while early 80's, did you use it back then? Was a decent boozer as I recall, although he did struggle to get a grip of it at first, the locals had been used to calling time when they were ready. Although he had no problems accommodating them it needed to be on his terms, tough call but he braved it out for a couple of years at least.

Used to have a mate lived over the road from there, is Louisa Street still standing?

Yep, but that's of the old road, not the new road.

it is, it's in Openshaw, i lived just off there

Not in the 80s, 2000 onwards. Always had lock ins and it was a good laugh.

Droylsden has been in decline for quite a few years. You only have to look at the range of shops to see how a town is doing, and Droylsden isn't doing well. The precinct has various cheap shops Wilkinsons, Quality Save, Poundstretcher, Bright house a Pawn shop and several Charity shops, long gone are the decent butchers and greengrocers.

Is the family that people are suggesting are involved the same family who smashed up the White Hart after the 6-1?

I know the short family well, not this new generation, but the older ones, so mark would be one of there kids. I think there's been a few attempts on there life over the years,

Broken Britain. We are all f*cked, but some of us appear to be armed and ready.

The car they used was found burnt out on my estate, id imagine they were going towards woodhead/sheffield way but obviously didnt get that far and blew it up. Scum.
