Trevor S 2,003 Posted November 26, 2012 Report Share Posted November 26, 2012 Please Sir, what was a Community? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beefsteak 305 Posted February 3, 2013 Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 I can't see it mentioned, but I went passed "The Grey Mare" in Clifton on Friday and it's boarded up ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
plantfit 7,533 Posted February 3, 2013 Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 I remember the Grey Mare being built and opening, must have been 1960/61 sort of time, I also remember One of Shipstones Grey mares complete with young foal at the opening ceremony, not being a drinker now for a long time but I did have my first half pint of bitter in there, I think the name came from an old folk song something along the lines of Widdecome fair as some of the road names around the area are also in the song Rog Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Commo 1,292 Posted February 3, 2013 Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 "The Old Grey Mare, she ain't what she used to be Ain't what she used to be, Ain't what she used to be. The Old Grey Mare she ain't what she used to be, So long ago" (and so on) Old folk song, childrens rhyme etc Quote Link to post Share on other sites
