Favourite Pub...now and in the past?

Quoted from cmackenzie4

When I was at Grimsby college in the 80’s I always liked it in the Wheatsheaf, our nights out usually ended up in Cleethorpes (Strides and Smugglers) and then dancing around the handbags in Dean’s night club 😎

Haven’t been to a pub in over 5 years, the last one we went to was the one next to the Navy club (Cleethorpes) I forget the name, that was nice and relaxing.

I know the one you mean Chris. Can’t remember the name either. My mate always calls it his ‘old doctors’ cos the surgery used to be there.

Like a lot of posters I was a Lifeboat regular as a sixties student.

Many of us were working at Birds Eye or Eskimo and so were a lot of Irish students from both sides of the border. This was before the Troubles and there was no trouble!. I remember one lad giving a Saturday night rendition of Molly Malone sitting on the back of a bench seat in the corner lounge then toppling backwards straight through the window.. it did clear the smoky atmosphere quite quickly. We usually ended up in the Lifeboat on Sunday lunch after our England v Ireland match on Grant Thorold..

Birds Eye students used to pop in the Honest Lawyer before a shift. When I worked on Nunsthorpe I used to call in the Tavern in Artie’s day. Darley’s was a weekend one, Edna Keays in the singing room. Was Bing Beale in there or was he only bashing trays on his head at the Yarborough Vaults?

Used to like the Tivoli whan we played in the Quiz League. The Friar Tuck was nice and so suprprisingly was the first few years of the Wellow.

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

As a visitor from darn Sarf these days my wife and I love the Curious Cat, not your normal Grimsby bar and gives plenty of cocktail bars down here a run for their money.

As a youngster still living at home The Barge was a favourite, Swigs and The Haven.

On the subject of old pubs, I remember the Cross Keys on High St., demolished to make way for a car park and road widening. If I remember right there was a bit of a rumpus so the council of the day said the name would continue in perpetuity with the building of a new pub in New Waltham.

So the new pub was called the Cross Keys and is remembered today after its 2nd change of name to the Farmhouse! Proof you can't trust politicians.

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 went in the Cross Keys a couple of times, if I remember rightly it was just like walking into someones terraced house.

I see the old landlord of the Submarine is mentioned in the Telegraph deaths today, Ian Billard.
Think he had a bad car crash after he left the pub game and was lucky to survive if it's the Ian I'm thinking of.

Wasn’t The Cross Keys in New Waltham once run by Nigel Batch?
