Bubblewrap 3,815 Posted August 9, 2017 Report Share Posted August 9, 2017 By the look of the so called beer they are selling I shall not be paying them a visit so often even if it is less than 10 minuets walk away. I will give it one chance though but John Smiths is not my type of beer See my photo comments on the Post's facebook page Quote Link to post Share on other sites

(Thanks for reminding about this crime) Anyone know why it was called "Pretty Windows"? Anyone know the answer to the original question? It was called "Pretty Windows" because after the night of poaching the chaps would call for a drink. and hang there rabbits, on the windows out side. The night after the murder of the landlord, master had said goodnight to me and was returning home he lived at the bottom of Carlton road, he was stopped and inter viewed by the police. He of cause could tell them nothing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NewBasfordlad 3,599 Posted August 9, 2017 Report Share Posted August 9, 2017 I thought the architectural style of the front windows gave it it's nick name, they were after all special at the time of its building 1833. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mary1947 2,079 Posted August 10, 2017 Report Share Posted August 10, 2017 As my father in law use to know the night men I sure my infro is correct also failed to put not just rabbits but pheasants were hung from windows. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
radfordred 6,284 Posted August 10, 2017 Report Share Posted August 10, 2017 Let's hope the beautiful etched glass windows & ornate frames that it once had are found? Castle Rock do a good job of rejuvenating pubs, they'll do a good job, I hope they do call it 'Pretty Windows' Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mary1947 2,079 Posted August 10, 2017 Report Share Posted August 10, 2017 Why call it "Pretty windows" that pub went a long time ago. May be just call it "Fancy Windows". The poachers also long gone. and the spicks that the poachers hung their goods on. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm pretty certain it wasn't a pub before it became the Roebuck; it was warehousing/.industrial. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mary1947 2,079 Posted April 24, 2019 Report Share Posted April 24, 2019 Hi Cliff Ton I was thinking of the Imperial which used to be there, at the back of the pub up an entry they would have live groups on Saturday and Sunday nights. Maybe I have it wrong. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
