algy Posted October 21, 2011 Report Share Posted October 21, 2011 What was this pub called and where was it situated, we need the exact name of the street (I'm generalizing when I say street!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cleopatra Posted October 21, 2011 Report Share Posted October 21, 2011 Looks like the Bay Horse in Winwick Street but the pavement wasnt on a slope like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wireboy Posted October 21, 2011 Report Share Posted October 21, 2011 Looking at the hill I would say either Town Hill or Pig hill but apart from that I am clueless I'm afraid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
algy Posted October 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2011 No, Cleo & Wireboy, Dizzy is quiet I think she may remember this from a topic last year!. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted October 21, 2011 Report Share Posted October 21, 2011 Sorry... I've been completely sidetracked and obsessed looking for dead people You are right though Algy as I do sort of recognose that one from one of your posts ages ago on here and as such I do have a very rough idea of where it was.. (only the area though and not precisely as I can't remember ). I'm not joining in as that may be classed as cheating if my memory ever clicks in as I would only 'know' because of yours and others past posts Wireboy, Cleo and others... can you hurry up though as it will start to bug me cos I can't remember This could be the first time that many use the forum search facility.. but I know you always remove your pics after a while Algy so they will be frustrated. Gary will be happy that people are using it though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cleopatra Posted October 21, 2011 Report Share Posted October 21, 2011 This one could really send me insane. I know the features of the building because I have passed the very same style of building several times in my younger days and I can't remember where the hell it was. Bewsey Street coms to my mind but I don't recall ever seeing a pub there and I don't think the ground sloped like that. The only sloping ground I can think of is Pig Hill/Town Hill and I know the pub there was the Boar's Head and this picture is not the Boar's Head.

I might have to "pull the plug" on this one as it disappeared long before any of us were born. More clues: Landlord at the time of the photo was Henry Ashton. The pub had a strong link with Warrington Harriers now known as Warrington Athletics Club. (1901). There was another pub about 100 mtrs further up the on the other side of the road (to the left of picture). A picture house was built much later opposite the other pub.
