Anyone recall Tommy Dunne ( Guest House and Hoghton}, Don Standing {Coronation}, Connie {Rabbitt} , Mr Bland [Imperial} Peter Gallagher (Hesketh} , Monica ( Ship) , Jack Critchley ( Sandpiper and Blue Anchor)
Mrs Connor (Bold in Churchtown) amongst others.
Me memories struggling a little with other names.
What I will never forget though is the sheer miserableness and humourless facade of Don Standing.
Great days though.

I rember Chris Connor at the Bold (churchtown) probably the best landlord ever,what a lovely man he was , as teens(underage) we used to sit outside round the back of the Bold and when the the dark and colder nights he opened up a room for us upstairs. we couldn't go in the bar but we had waiter service at the press of a button

I see from the Midweek Visiter that Peter Gallagher has just died aged 78.

I was intending to add this information along with the fact that, if my memory serves me correctly, Tony & Anne Hailwood (Halewood?) were at the Hesketh Arms at one time before taking over at The Mons in Liverpool and later coming back to the town to run the Imperial.

I thought Monica had the Welly!

Remember bespectacled Don Standing in the Corrie. Had many a pint there before i was legally entitled to. Also the barman, Dougie, a scotsman pulling me a pint of Threlfalls for 1/3d. Happy days.

Then you must have served me with many a pint... Like you (and me) then they had close connections with Crossens.

You'll no doubt then remember Gaynor Halsall, John's missus...? As delightful today as she was then.

Further to above, I still chat regularly to a former barmaid who used to work at the Plough when it was a "proper" pub yonks ago...
