Is the Pub still going where you first started going out for a drink back in your younger days and what was/is called.

Sadly mine is no more, Many a happy memory in The Three Feathers

Certainly is, changed hands a couple of times and is going through a bit of a resurgence currently.

I never really had a local, as I lived in St Helens, so there were loads of pubs, just not loadsamoney on YTS at the time. £25.00 a week wages didn't go far back then.

As for the pub I used to live opposite, I remember it from 1976 onwards, went in it once for a drink, but it was shut down when I last saw it in 2004. The pub was in Union Street, but the original street sign said Copper Street.

Nope it’s now a damn fine Indian restaurant. Would still prefer it to be a pub though as it was brilliant.

It had closed down but was recently bought over by a local businessman who plans to turn it to a wine bar.

In my day it had sticky floors and a queue for the pool table.

Lol at sticky floors, when I was drinking Pod slip on shoes were in fashion and I remember my friend going to the loo and leaving his shoes behind as he went

My local one closed Down for a couple years because it fell into disrepair.

Hardly anyone visited it.

Then surprisingly Wetherspoon bought it and put an extension on it. it looks amazing what they have done with it.

Always packed on a Friday and Saturday night ever since it reopened last year.

It's there but not the same.

I had my first job there at 16, always went back. Sadly, my schoolmate who also had his first job there and never left had a heart attack and died.

The landlord sold up after that, and now it's a gastropub.

RIP The Swan.

Had to google it as i no longer live in the area..

Apparently it closed in 2011..

My grandad always had the dubious honour of being the first man over the threshold when it first opened

Sadly my first "watering hole" is no more. It was a great place called the Druids Tavern. I first started going in at about 14 years old and remember the landlord saying "I know you're underage but I will let you in with a few conditions. Behave and don't cause any trouble. I won't allow you to get pissed. Don't forget I know your dad!"

It closed down in 2008 and was demolished to make way for a new police station. That never materialised as it was too expensive to build and the council bought the land from the police - they turned it into a car park.

I grew up in Chingford, my 1st pint was in the Bull & Crown, now a pizza restaurant, others have turned into retirement flats and a McDonald's, but the King's Head is still going strong

...Up on the Downs

Don't know about the first few I briefly visited, but the one I spent years going to is now a Macdonalds.

In mitigation, I went on a meet to the other end of the country and visited a pub I had pulled pints in 40 years ago when in the area on a summer job, it was still there, same name, and did a fabulous Sunday lunch!!
