the snooty fox on the parkway was a place we used a lot going to the game as we came from Knutsford and later warrington, sad when it went.

and one in flats that changed its name that often couldn't remember what it finished as, if you had half in each of the survivors you'd go home sober.
sad sign of the times Government and Brewers have killed the Golden Goose.

I'm pretty sure the family that owned it were blues.

Right going to quote my own post here, this pub was on Shudehill and was demolished in the 50s. I would love to be able to go back in time and walk into this pub. I love the old pubs like this.

The Black Horse on Oldham rd. Failsworth. Ran by close family friends, Gladys and Tom.

Here you go Barcon .... I still have this ...

We used to start our crawls in the Black Horse .... then up to The Bridge, bit of a wander, and finish in the Pack Horse when the other Tommy had it .... cracking pubs all of them.

Tom and Gladys were brought in to save my local, The Robin Hood, Droylsden Rd, Newton Heath. But the damage had been done after they put a cockney wanker of the first order in as manager, after they got greedy and destroyed all the trade former tenants Bob and Louise Lamb had built up over the years .... It's an office nowadays ....
