Outlaw99 2 Posted July 29, 2010 Report Share Posted July 29, 2010 Remember the Barn well, I was still at school and a girl the was a close friend of the family used to sneak me in on Friday nights. It was Coca Cola night and at that time it was always half full of American Airmen who laced the coke with Burbon. She later married one from Kentucky and went home with him.

danny333 7 Posted July 5, 2011 Report Share Posted July 5, 2011 Used to be a regular at " The Barn " with Ken Mc Intosh`s Band resident, I remember the Pub nearby ( Forgot the name ) but in those days in each room you could press a Bell and a Waiter would come for your order ( A pint for about 1/3d ) This was our last stop before the Barn after a pub crawl, The Queen Elizabeth- Sawyers Arms- Dog and Bear Etc . Happy days Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mick2me 3,033 Posted July 8, 2011 Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 That reminded me of a place that used to be on Coventry Lane, can anyone remember it? The name escapes me? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
taxi ray 170 Posted July 8, 2011 Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 That would have been the moor farm inn, it closed about 5 years ago. It has been demolished, and I think some form of church is going to be built there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
susyshoes 69 Posted July 8, 2011 Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 Moor Farm Inn, great place. Served some good food and was very popular in the early 80s. Think i spent my 21st there. Anyone got any photos of it? I remember there being lots of interconnected rooms, and it was down quite a long winding lane? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mick2me 3,033 Posted July 8, 2011 Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 I remember it now. I think in recent years it was called something else? Was the disco of the MFI have a name of its own? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bobsharris 0 Posted August 29, 2011 Report Share Posted August 29, 2011 I remember it now. I think in recent years it was called something else? Was the disco of the MFI have a name of its own? I think you mean what was called The Gun Deck, a building behind the main (front) one that was the original disco. I DJ'd at Moor Farm from 1972 until its eventual demise.
