Nice photo takes me back! Henry Rivers I remember as one of the Landlords, old Soldier & character.
6p per jukebox record, when all other pubs charged 1/-. Anyone remember the nun on the shelf, and how many girls got caught out with it?
This is one watering hole that had slipped my memory, nice to be reminded of it. Never went in as I can rember.
Jive king what’s the nun on the shelf???? I am intrigued.
Talking of places forgotten about, how about the doctors surgery down the side of what was the Granby.
It was a model of a nun, on the shelf behind the bar, if a female (any age) ask why it was there, Henry told them, it was a mood tester, when the ask if they could try it, he got it down, ask them to open their palm, when they did, he placed it in their palm, and told them to rub the nuns stomach, so they nun face would change colour depending on their mood, the face never changed colour, then he explained, close your eyes, and use two fingers, and rub hard and fast, as they started to rub it, he turned the nun over, when she opened her eyes, to see if the face had changed colour, the back wasn’t a nun back, it was the shape of a penis. squeals all round.
WELL YOU DID ASK.
