plantfit 7,591 Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 Does any one remember The Whistle Stop under the Victoria Hotel? All done out like the inside of a railway station, at the end of the seats there were suit cases to act as arm rests and the place was a miriad of small alcoves, all with railway posters on the walls. We used to go there from peoples college on a Monday and Friday nights, packet of No6 ciggies 3-4 pints of double diamond and a bag of chips from the chipper in Trinity square and change from £3. Must have been 1968-69 Roger 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mick2me 3,033 Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 Yes I remember it. I too walked over from Peoples College, for dinner. You also had the choice of milk churns to sit on. Was it really as far back as 69? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Frank 13 Posted January 11, 2007 Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 Thats the same place that ended up as the New Welbeck or I may be mistaken - was there before the New Welbeck. Geez - what booze does to your brain cells Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted November 15, 2016 Report Share Posted November 15, 2016 I was only a nipper,but wasn't Whistle Stop opened and running'71-' 74? When Vic Hotel changed to Stakis or the like they painted the Loco wheels on the wrought iron railings...even though the bar was long gone. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MicknHoops 0 Posted April 30, 2020 Report Share Posted April 30, 2020 Loved it in there late 60's, maybe early 70's. Saturdays nights usually started in there, then descended into obscurity after a trip to Bell in Old Market square, Imperial, Hearty Good Fellow,Salutation, Royal Children then last off upstairs at Yates for a couple of Aus White wines....all went a bit blurred after that. Wish I could go back n do it all again.Such Happy days Quote Link to post Share on other sites
