It looked like a huge pub, was it as big inside as it looked from the outside?

Took me and my mate a long time to venture into The Ship as it had a reputation of being a bit of a rough house, but it was actually ok. As a kid in the 60's, it always seemed to have at least one window boarded up every Saturday morning so maybe that's where i got the idea from.

I think a few pubs have been like that at one time or another, a sign of a good pub was a boarded up window ha ha

Was brought up in Sharpe road the commercial pub at the bottom of the street hung around there as a kid went in for a pint just days before it got demolished think it was 1973

My mam lived round that way but sadly I can't remember the pub very well at all

[@jennytalia226]

Dad used to drink there and that's where we used to take ' empties' back to get a few pennies back on the deposit.
