Genuinely I'll be on to the DIY list off the Mrs soon..... thankfully B and Q are in chaos and there is no prospect of materials at the moment. But I am over lockdown. *Fully appreciate that is a privilege to be over it, may all of us and our loved ones stay well and safe* but you know what I mean.

What is it with people coughing and spitting on people while we're in this mess. I read someone did it at pound stretcher in Castleford I think it's that one near the old market entrance. Apparently he got six months jail. Too leniant in my opinion should have wrapped him up in cling film and threw him off the bridge into the river. Complete and utter discrace.

Piquad1 wrote: 24 Jan 2020, 07:23 Read an article somewhere about the dissapearing pubs in Pontefract. Which made me think of the ones we've lost in Castleford . Now let me try to remember starting on Bridge street/Keel Inn/Miners Arms/on your way up the road I think the Star and Garter was on the left. At the top was the Ship/ bottom of Carlton Street I believe the Prince of Wales Feathers/ then up to the Carlton/further up the road ther was a club but cannot remember what it was called near what used to be Pound world or pound stretcher. Going a bit left I believe /Route 66/ The Tartan bar/ and North Eastern hotel/ Aire street Horse and Jockey/ Mexborough Arms/ somewhere around there I seem to remember the Garden House but some people called it the Red House?/ Aire street I forgot the Crimea Tavern/further up near bus station was I think the Trades and Labour club some good bands on there at the weekend. I've probs missed a few but if anyone remembers throw it in just a bit of fun pass half an hour on. Cheers

It was a very good club in its day, transferred from down lane from what is now the Rock Factory.

I would roughly say about 1969/70, I used go in Friday nights when I was an apprentice at Wheldale colliery.

No mate. The Bull is opposite Savile Park. The one in thinking of was situated on the land between the Commercial Inn and the Hightown Convenience Store. It was a white building and has some flats built on there now
the four ferrets
Thanks mate. That’s the one
There was also the volunteer in locklane just opposite the Griffin

Dunno if they've been mentioned but both The Healdfield & The Smawthorne have gone now.
