My mate lived on Hill Park, his Dar drank in what was a social club on low sima, sure it's a care home these days

St. Mary’s Catholic Club was it?

St. Mary’s Catholic Club was it?

Rings a very vague bell, but no idea really

 

[WashFTM]

Thinking about it. can’t think of pubs around valley view, Hill park, Ellison way either ??

Only one was the Robin Hood forgot about the Prince

 

[70s traveller]

I learned to run and cycle fast very quickly

There were a lot of 60s & 70s Tyneside areas that a plan of rapid departure needed to be made if you were seen.

Micky Horswill. He had the Boldon lad when I was a youngun.

Remember my Dad playing 5-a-side at Whitburn Comp in 89/90 with a fella called Barry who had The Boldon Lad. Horswill played in the same team as them.

 

[Grimes]

Could have fit one in Primrose somewhere maybe

Robin Hood

 

[Dennis]

Robin Hood

I meant the centre where the Chippy and that is, but yeah they had the Robin, was a decent pub just a bit out of the way from any other pub except the Prince

Not sure how long it’s been there but there’s a little bar in the community centre next to the chippy, they used to get our matches on in the keano era

 

[Big Jeff]

Yes, along the bottom road.

I had my first ever pint in the Allison.

I was a bairn in a band and the big lads stopped for a pint. They asked me what I wanted and I got the same as the drummer. I was rocking as we drove to Whitley bay to do the gig.

Christ knows what a mess I made but I got a show out.

I remember the day the Robin Hood burned down. It was the Borg v McEnroe Wimbledon final in 1980! I was at my gran’s who lived in Hadrian Road and you could see the smoke billowing up. It’s amazing the things that stick in your memory from 40 odd years ago!

Aye, Primrose Community centre. Me Dad was consider a bit of a legend in there !

 

[THELORDRODWELL]

I think the tables were turned here.
Well deserved.

Whoosh or thickie?

That was part of being a rock star wasn't it.

Sometimes I thought the love of making music wasn't why some people were in a band. Am I being a bit naive here?

80s was pretty rough but thankfully the gentrification has made it a lot more tranquil these days

Ask any local P.C. if that's true

 

[Swindon On Tour]

I think a huge whooosh

I wanted to show off and get off with lasses.

I was only 50% successful.

That’s was on our Friday night route in the mid 90’s - Start in the Deneside, taxi to Martha’s, round the corner to Wardles then finish at Dougies before walking to Santinos for a kebab
