I'm not a great one on local history having only lived here 20 years, but that doorway says to me it may be a now long lost public house.....

You`re correct when you say it`s long lost, but it wasn`t a public house, close though!

You discovered the gas leak? And then it burned down! How did it catch fire, did you spark a tab up

[Mr Darn]

Bah, i was gonna say the Top Club too, but the "Public" house thing threw me! Doh!

I would have got the year wrong tho.

I left the scene double quick when the young copper I flagged down on the roundabout hit the transmit button on his radio right over where the bubbles were coming up. No one was more surprised than me to see the smouldering pile of rubble later that day. I've heard lots of theories since on what triggered the blaze. All I can say for sure is that there was a mega gap in police training at the time!

[Cympil]

Ok, here`s another blast from the past! Where is this building and by what name was it known? Rep for the winner

That was quick!

It is indeed the Millfield

Taken in 1975.

Maybe you`ll know who had the place then? I heard it was Tom Hennessey but i`m not sure on this

Not sure myself but ex Newcastle footballer John Tudor had it at one time but it never took off because he got rid of the darts and pool teams, as he wanted a different clientele in there

[Malcolm Robinson]

Hmm foxy, it was a pretty dull place when Tudor had it!

[John Fox (foxy)]

I think the fact that he could'nt raise a smile had a lot to do with it.Certainly no happy hours.
