Great stuff Gav. So many forgotten memories.

The old wine lodge.

I remember when they changed it to the blob shop equipped with bouncer on door  "No trainers in here lads" - Looking for a different kind of clientele - Cheeky barsteward - One lad got in and opened the fire exit - Job done!

Is that not the original Wine Lodge? I don't remember the name of the street but it was round the corner from where M&S is now.

Wasn't that the new Wine Lodge which Gav said became the Blob Shop. Before that there was a different one which, if I remember correctly was demolished.

Are you referring to the original one? If so can you remember the street name?

Edit: Just found this.

I reckon this lad might have scored a few for us if Howard Kendall hadn't sold him to Halifax. 😀

We used to go in the old Yates’s for a couple of Docks of white wine with green chartreuse chasers !! Yes, I know, it’s a wonder I’m not blind. Then it was off to the more up market pubs on the Coast. Happy days.

I only knew the one up from Woolworths and this looks like the bar from that place, but I could be wrong arbito.

It looks more like the old Wine Lodge bar to me Gav. I remember  the contraptions on the front of the bar so help with an orderly queue. Hopefully somebody will remember for definite.

Monday night Soul Club In The 60’s. I just loved the music and, hopefully, a few dances too. A friend of mine met his future wife there on one of our forays on the dance floor.
