Used to go in there in the late sixties when we used to have a sally on sat night to the George, Eagle, Bummers etc, used to be a bit of community singing piano and harmonica. I remember Tom Livesy - grave digger for Tomlinsons undertakers, who used to serve the bar sometimes, he and the Sunday card school lads used to have as much as 20 pints in the Dinner time session of 2 1/2 hours, it was a big effort must have been lower alcohol then.
