How long were you out Hursty and how long did it take to recover from all that 'walking'? :w00t:Originally Posted by ukhursty
Aye, I didn't either! We started on Upper Chorlton Road near Jam Street, down to the 4 banks, out towards Stretford, left towards the green, back down Beech Road, onto Barlow Moor Road, back towards the 4 banks, then finishing up down Wilbraham Road.
Quite a bit of walking involved
Poacher turned game-keeper
We began supping at midday, and finished around 10pm!
I recovered by watching every frame of the UK Snooker Championship on the Sunday, including a superb Roast Chicken Dinner.
Mind you, I've not touched an ale since, giving my liver a rest till the weekend
Ah memories!, I lived on Barlow Moor Road for 4 years - great time there. There are a lot more bars on Beach road now compare to when I lived there 15 odd years ago.Aye, I didn't either!

know the area well ...
Well I lived there for about 3 years after Uni, been going down to Chorlton drinking for longer though. Always enjoy heading back for a few drinks, fantastic vibe and atmosphere round there.
We had our 'dinner stop' at the Horse & Jockey on Saturday, very nice pub now, they have their own real ale brewery too!
Loved my time there too, I lived on York Road behind the 4 Banks. Definitely plenty of pubs down there now, makes a cracking day out
yeah indeed - they have tarted it up
largely for the better I think - it wasn't a great pub before
Beech over the road has changed hands as well
There's a place that does OK beer further down Beech Rd too - the Parlour or summat. Apparently owned by the same people who own the Castle Hotel on Oldham St in town which I think is a cracking little gaff.
