Can imagine. Brilliant building. People need to get into the town centre more. There's great stuff here. |  | |  |

Yes think that's right. Hopefully can be resurrected again. |  | |  |

The Vaults was right next to Mannings but slightly underground, hence the name...The Crown and Anchor was just along from Debenhams and closed down to become W H Smiths. The Cock and Pye ? The Bandbox ? The Queens Head ? Oxborrows Hotel ? |  |

If that's the pub, didn't Alan Brazil own it at one time own it before his foray into broadcasting? I think it was previously known as the White Swan. EDIT: I was wrong. It was the Black Adder he ran. But I can't say I recall that pub. [Post edited 10 Sep 18:26]

I practically grew up in those pubs in the 80's. It's weird to think I probably know half the people on this site. |  |

The toilets used to be pretty grim in there tbh. The company evidently wasn't much better. |  |

As my dear old Dad used to tll me, it's not the turnover that matters it's the left over. |  |

I've had a beer or two in there with Warky1970, Bojk and Burer. Sitters may have been there but it was that long ago he was probably in the garden with a bottle of pop and a packet of crisps whilst the grown ups were drinking. |  |

Yes, I've been in there before back in the 80s and remember once being there when for some reason someone threw a brick through one of the windows. [Post edited 10 Sep 19:02]
