and I see the Mayfair's gone too

They really seem to like flattening stuff up there.

Just did a virtual tour on Street View. Unrecognizable.

Newcastle Arms (?) is still there and still old fashioned on Stowell Street

Yep, round the corner from Rosie's Bar

from memory the haymarket becoming Inventions, bar oz and is now the crow's nest.

The original was flattened

[eek]

Up from the Barley Mow? Went there once or twice. Ditto the Tap and Spile.

Another favourite was the Percy & going right back, the Haymarket.

Can anyone confirm if any of the following pubs still exist and/or are still any cop (by which I mean not a Dirty Nellies style Irish theme pub or such like)?

1. Broken Doll gone
   (think I know the answer to that :-( )
2. Barley Mow refurbed twice then burnt down
3. Hotspur still there, still crap
4. La Fraise still there
5. Cooperagegone

...and while I'm at it, is Walkers still there?

That's well and truely gone.

I worked in Newcastle and don't know any of those. We used to drink in the Bodega and one of the ones on Pink Lane... probably the Forth (poncey foreign beers).

Another one for the itinerary:

Crown Posada

I can recommend the Cross Keys, the oldest pub in Swansea, it was built in 1930.

Au contraire. Back in the 80s it was a popular hangout for the inhabitants of nearby Dyke's Row.

They all used to go in there and watch Prisoner Cell Block H.

I bow to your obvious experience in the being rimmed in the pub field....

I can't imagine a more non-gay bar than the Strawberry!

Just asking because I was thinking of a nostalgic trip up there sometime.

(May even stop at Scotch Corner and see if I can get my end away on the way up )
