BPF - who are Taylor's pies? Washerman think it must be Beans - they've been there since 1933(last time Blackpool scored).



How come you know Cleveleys?

cheers,Steve

Woodspeckie,not had any of the scones - Streets used to be good for cream teas.

Sad person that I am - just found out why there is so much mud on Cleveleys beach - it is the remains of a submerged forest,the oak tree stumps are still there. Sea flooded in as far as Garstang in 1555 - but no I wasn't there ,but interesting stuff.

You still need HINFY for old jokes,regards Steve

bringing back memories I used to live in Cleveleys still pop in from time to time. Am in the area in March so always drop into the Golden Eagle for a pint and probably the Red Lion in Bispham oh and of course the Bispham Arms (sam smiths eh). oh and every other pub in between

Victoria Road in Cleveleys used to be one of the busiest and best shopping areas on the Fylde coast.

A refreshing break from Bank Hey Street, Blackpool - especially when the Tower Lounge let out.

The No.3 on Park Rd. was run by a gentlemanly, gentleman who I understand tees off round these parts!

Arthur, would have liked to have gone along to HINFY live sessions - I believe they went on for about 3 hours with Humph playing we'll meet again on the trumpet.



Cleveleys has the Regal Hotel,Victoria Pub and Tramway - great cheap £3.50 carvery if anyone is over. Just a pity they started building on flood and boggy areas - greedy builders and illogical buyers - and they think it just goes on in TRNC.



Not yet spoilt by mass immigration - but that is another topic - as are lucky bags,£sd,Star Trek,Mr Pastry,Crackerjack and jumping crackers ... nostagia and showing my age ... will now boldly detonate my phaser,gather warp speed ...and go to Kyrenia in 3 weeks,kind regards to all,Steve
