Similarly... sadly missed the South End club on Silkmore lane. Think I got my first snog at a disco there one Saturday night. Oh happy days!!
Me too. Spent many happy hours there in the early 70's. When I started to swim in the new place I wondered why I kept sinkingcat_woman said:
They'd kill for that place now - they could make so much of its history, and spas are gaining in popularity all the time so it'd bring extra revenue for the town too. Aah, hindsight - it's a wonderful thing!
I also remember the old layout of the start of Wolverhampton Rd, when there ised to be a lovely old antique shop on the corner, near the White Lion (which the council apparently promised to take down piece by piece and rebuild in a location where such a special 17th century building could be appreciated - that was the early 70's and it's not seen the light of day since!)
Anyone else remember 'Rags and Tatters' in that yard down the side alley near the Odeon? There was always an interesting array of little shops there, which have all disappeared over the years.

Yes, indeed, the White Lion has been 'lost' - rumour has it that it was actually junked pretty well immediately.Rikki said:

Flat pack pubs? Could make festivals go better!

Wasn't there a Good Ideas thread somewhere? What about an inflatable pub - it could be held up by the pressure in the beer lines, and when it ran out it would automatically deflate - seems obvious to me. It could double as a sort of 'adult' bouncy castle and would have the side effect of possibly reducing alchohol induced injuries. It might even, therefore, attract sponsorship from NHS Direct.tek-monkey said:

Less accidents means less staff needed - the last thing the NHS want. As with all government bodies, failure to use a budget results in its withdrawal, meaning rather than prevent accidents they're more likely to push you down the stairs after a few pints.

Use any closed wards as nightclubs. They're structurally quite suitable and any injured parties could just be slid down a chute into Casualty. Additional income and less expense. It makes at least as much sense as selling cholesterol cakes in the foyer.tek-monkey said:Less accidents means less staff needed - the last thing the NHS want.

Of course, there may be a downside for a certain type of person - it is possible that a Forum member could end up barred from her place of work for non-work-related issues.
