Cor! That was a place in th'owd days - what! Joe & Billy Mac and all them owd raspberries.

Was this place somewhere near Salvation Army building?

raspberries is a good name, bullies is more like it

I remember Joe and Billy. Further up Millgate there was a 'club' which served drink at unusual hours. Joe and Billy help run the place. It's a long time ago.

"The Green Curtain" David..;o)

My dad,Frank Jones ran this pub for a whilein the 70s, alas he died there too. \my dad tolme when he first took it over, the old, hard drinkers would be waiting outside for the pub to open around 5 00, and they wouldn't leave till they spent their last penny. It was massive upstairs

Yes Stan, happy times living there with our dad. He was starting to turn the pub around.
Does anyone remember our dad???

Does anyone remember the name of the landlady circa 1984 ? Trying to locate her son who I knew only by his first name

Josh - would that be Maureen (Harwood I think)?
She used to have Jokers restaurant under the Empress/Casino verandah before going into the Ship.

That's it Mick, I thought it was Harwood

Yes went there many a time but only to see my lovely sister x

She did have a son, Josh. His name was Eddie.
