Guest Posted December 16, 2015 Report Share Posted December 16, 2015 Xmas nights in Bulwell were always a laugh,my mates from Silverdale and Albany rd. Would meet in the Apollo and start a 'theme' Pernod and black or cider& macko etc..down then to The Newstead,great pint ..crisp ..if you get my drift all the way into The Headstock's, which had a "new romantic" jukebox!! The only pub we missed was up near the cricket pitch..Hall Park Tavern?? Too far to crawl!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Terry Sadler 27 Posted December 20, 2015 Report Share Posted December 20, 2015 Re: Ian's query #392... Shonky pit closed in 1945. We lived at Back Cottages back then and the nearest air raid shelter was on the pit compound. The shaft was used for pumping for a couple of years after. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
