I remember the Green man on dewsbury rd very well..its was a ramsden house..The bitter was very strong so i had mixed..thats mild and bitter to you non drinkers..They had a small tap room where we used to play darts...the landlord at that time was called arthur..a grumpy old sod...i also remember the Highfield very well..that was tetleys..the same landlord had it many years..then moved out and took a fruit and veg shop up beeston rd..we in our late teens used to also go in charlie parfitts garage..next door to the crescent cinema he had an snooker room upstairs..we also went to St peters not to pray but to play snooker..as you went in an old gentleman asked us if we attended church..we of course said yes...just to get a game of snooker..St peters church was opp the old police station and library..there is a war memorial there nowGreat memories

Parksider - dunno if you know owt about keeping a pub, back then? "Mixed" was all the remains left in customers' glasses (along with all their spit, bacteria and fag ash), that went into the slops trough - and was recycled as mixed... :-O !!!!The H & S boys would have closed every pub going, if they'd been around then!Once I found that out, I decided it was better to stick to mild, or bitter if I wanted to get really hammered! It's a wonder mixed drinkers didn't all die of E.Coli or other weird diseases!

))Sorry - hope I didn't put you off yer tea? :-O

Looked on Leodis but doesn't mention anything.Can anyone shead any light on it Thanks My great great great grandad ran it until God knows when. His name was Squire Bailey, his wife was Clara Eleanor Bailey nee Simpson. It was called the Green Man Hotel in the photo I have from around 1925. He shows as being there from the 1901 census records but wasn't there in 1891 so somewhere in those ten years he took it over. They had 5 children, Lily Sophia Jane Bailey, Eleanor Beatrice Bailey, William Simpson Bailey, May Simpson Bailey and Harry Simpson Bailey.Any help you could give me about these members of family would be great!!

Stop - press!!! just found this pic on Leodis of the 'other' Green Man - the one on Church street. By the time of this pic it had become a cafe - but its easy to see it was a pub. some very interesting comments here:http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?reso ... SPLAY=FULL
