boysinblue Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Could this be moved to Good Friday? I'd be surprised if it wasn't seeing as that's happened the past few seasons (from memory). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diego_Sideburns Posted July 10, 2015 Author Share Posted July 10, 2015 Yet another pub for the discerning drinker has been resurrected in Burton. The Dog in Lichfield Street has been turned into a gem for real ale enthusiasts. Details added to the opening post in this thread. So many to choose from and so little time for non-residents!

Diego_Sideburns Posted July 20, 2015 Author Share Posted July 20, 2015 And yet another pub has opened in Burton to satisfy the needs of Latics supporters. What was originally the Blue Posts and, after closure, attempted to reopen under different names/formats over many years, has now been totally revamped as The Crossing Ale House & Kitchen. The name originates from its location being where the breweries’ railway system crossed the High Street. It was immortalised by L.S.Lowry in 1961. The Crossing has a big menu and a good choice of beers. It also has a beer garden. http://thecrossingburton.co.uk/ Similarly, what used to be the Friendly Fryer fish & chip shop, with eat-in facilities, has been closed for a few years but has now opened again at 141-142 Derby Street. It’s about half-way between the Burton Central Travelodge and the Pirelli Stadium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diego_Sideburns Posted July 20, 2015 Author Share Posted July 20, 2015 off topic but are they your oldham building pics on youtube? Some great photos of town.

Diego_Sideburns Posted July 20, 2015 Author Share Posted July 20, 2015 Thanks.... can I please copy a few for dad 92 and Dementia / Cancer - memory box. Proud latics fan all life. 'Course you can - hope he enjoys them. I show then to my 95 year-old mother-in-law and they bring back great memories for her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diego_Sideburns Posted July 20, 2015 Author Share Posted July 20, 2015 (edited) Cheers... very poorly at min and sort of in 1950s - Fantastic collection and when you hear Durban Mill going shows any photos important records of town. With Middlesbrough coming up again soon, he may remember the connection with George Hardwick and the Wilf Mannion transfer fund mystery. This is a nice picture of the 1953-54 Latics players. Taken before the game against Notts County at Boundary Park on 1/9/53. Back (left to right): L. Smith, K. Brierley, G. Burnett, L. Brook, W. McGlen, A. Whyte. Front: Robert McIlvenny, Eric Gemmell, George Hardwick, I. Crawford, R. Adams. Edited July 20, 2015 by Diego_Sideburns Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diego_Sideburns Posted October 13, 2015 Author Share Posted October 13, 2015 Yet another real ale outlet is to open in Burton later this month in the form of the Fuggle & Nugget micro pub at 81 High Street. I'll edit the original post in this thread in due course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diego_Sideburns Posted October 18, 2015 Author Share Posted October 18, 2015 Just back from a great night testing out the Tower Brewery, in the interest of Latics fans. It included a surreal experience of being hugged by three of my son's former girlfriends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
