Wonder how far back that tradition of students going in the Lifeboat went. Did your elders go in their Ron?


No, my parents only went in pubs on high days and holidays, mainly Darleys but sometimes the Royal Oak on Victoria Street.for some reason.

The student thing was a bit of an extension of school for us. A lot of ex-Clee lived in the area and were away at uni so the Lifeboat was a good rendezvous in the hols. The Irish lads tagged along in the first instance.

We rarely went in the Dolphin, Sub or the Vic - fear being the reason! The old Cross Keys was nice and cosy in winter - coal fire, but the old codgers didn’t like any youngsters in there.

Never got a chance to go in the Cross Keys. Think it went just a bit too early got me.

Remember all the rest except the Leeds. Must have gone a long time ago. Went in the others apart from the Clee Park. The Lynton was a bit too close to school (Lindsey) though so we went in the Crows Nest 😁. Better beer and nearer home too.

Last time I went in the Lynton it was a mini supermarket.


I played for Lynton in the Sunday league we got to the cup final played at Blundell Park.

Not being from these parts I do remember a school trip. It was to see a film at the ABC Cleethorpes, what it was about I cannot remember, but what I do remember was half of us sneaked out to enjoy 3/4 half's at the Imperial.

From what I recall the beer was good, bitter as I remember, possibly Hewitts ( early 1960's ) but as for the film well the next day at school nobody could remember! Happy days.

I used to love The Cricks when it was a proper locals boozer. I ran the quiz in there for about 10 years or so.

All went downhill when they turned it into more like a restaurant and the new boss fell out with too many of the locals.

I believe that's the similar to the Crows Nest where the "footpath" to " topies" was fenced off.

Time honoured tradition that cut through to Top Shops 😄

Important saving of time to ensure you got your fish and chips home while they’re still hot.

I was under the impression it was a public right of way so how did they get away with it?


When Leeds trainer Les Cocker was once told Norman Hunter had broken a leg, he asked: “Whose is it?”

I don’t think it was. There was a fence there when the houses were built but I thing it was demolished by the kids from Beacon Hill going for chips at dinner times.

Yeah you’re right there was a fence. One of those wire things strung between concrete posts IIRC and there was a small gap between the concrete post and the hedge.

(God you can tell it’s close season, being reduced to talking about fences 😃).
