I was born in a real biblical place, Jericho.

Jericho in Bury?

It does tend to confuse people.

Posh up there mate, if you make it alive past the trees estate,topping fold then Dickie bird.

Fairfield hospital was as far as I got, then back to the relative sanity of Heywood.

I used to live not far from Wolsey street, Heywood blues go from the Stars(now the Heywood)
Heywood was a great night out in the 70s and 80s with some great pubs. It's a proper shithole now mind. I still have family there and go back a few times a year to visit.

Was he about 5'5 and about the same width ? Dodgy perm and a porno tache. If it's the same lad he used to work at The Vic too.

I met my mrs in the Squash club, lol. Spibs had loads of names, The Phoenix club was one, and I remember it being The Candy Peel. Saw Bernard Manning there in the 80s, funny as fuck but I cringe now when I think of his act.
There was downstairs in The Vic and Chamber House too. For a small town it was choc full of pubs and had 4 nightclubs on the go at the same time.

The Britannia, fuck me what a hole. It used to have a doss house at the back of it. It's a vets now.
Not sure if the Grapes is still open. I never went in there much, I stuck to my local and the pubs around the town centre when I went on a crawl. I know they knocked the Oddfellows down, which was a little further up than the Grapes.

Don't think i went in that one,the Engineers was a good pub and the queen anne but i heard that went downhill and some poor girl got killed in there, Had some good years there and always thought of the people as being more like Bury people than Rochdale in a sense that i always found Bury people to be welcoming and talkative and friendly where as when i lived in Rochdale it was a bit doom and gloom,people went inside locked the doors and closed the curtains,no one seemed to know each other.

I used to go in the Engineers when I was 16 and they used to do a film night in the tap room. If you can remember how small the tap room was, you can imagine how cramped it got in there. I watched Midnight Express in there for the first time.
The beer was fucking rank though, Sam Smiths.
Heywood people have never liked being associated with Rochdale, and all the older ones will tell you the town started on its steady decline once the boundary changes were brought in the mid 70s and Heywood ceased to be its own borough. The twats even nicked the town silver and it's never been seen since.
Queene Ann used to be a great boozer, with some great local history attached to it. They changed the name and managed to attract all the local scumbags.
It was a real tragedy when that young girl was killed. Some pisshead launched a glass into the pub and it shattered on the pillar she was standing next to, and one of the shards hit her neck. Poor lass never stood a chance.
Last time I drove past it had closed down.
