Long Pull a.k.a. The Victoria is now a Hyde's pub called The Old Mill, good pint, a few dodgy punters though.

My first local, the Long Pull, in the days of Joe Apter (young and old).
I remember standing on the steps one day and my old nin was walking past and stopped for a chat. She pointed to a telegraph pole in the old car park opposite (when it was waste land) and told me that it stood in the middle of what had been her kitchen (Highfield Place).

I had to visit the "Gold Balance" a JDW pub in Kirkby. If you get a chance to go -- DON'T. Talk about a collection of mis-fits,rouges and vagabonds!! If there are no jobs/money how come the place was chokka?? If offered my body weight in saffron I wouldn't go back.

I was in the 'Glass House' (sp?) at the weekend with my OH, daughter and three grandkids. Feel sorry for anybody sat close to us in the 'family dining area' - wish they did 'older kid sized high chairs' that you can strap them into!!!!! They could do with a toilet facility down there, so we don't have to trail the kids though the bar (no kids allowed anyway) when they suddenly 'make that announcement'. It's no joke when you got a 'dancing 3yr old' and trying to attract the barmaid's attention for a key to the disabled loo - no way I could have got him up the flipping stairs to the other toilets!
Reasonable food (for the price) and the 'child's roast dinner' (full sized chicken breast) would have been plenty for me - especially on my diet!. Next time, that's what I'll do - just get the little fella a plate of chips instead
