Pub Name Changes

[canveyshrimper]

Harry or Firestorm may recall this place.It was down the back alleys off Alexandra street and all I seem to remember is it was a popular music venue and called The Harold Dogg or something similar?

Blimey, yes, it wasn't a pub or bar, it was a sort of coffee shop. Definitely something Dog, IIRC it was shut down because of drug dealing on the premises.

The Haystack on Canvey was briefly, during the 1980s wine bar fad, called 'Tropics'.

I know Drummonds became a branch of Santander or something?

Shane Westley used to do the door there whilst still playing, can you imagine Bil running a door in town between matches ... well actually i can :smile:

I do love Creakys input to these threads, it always gives away the fact he's gotta be nearly 70 when he claims to be half that :hilarious:

I thought Club Art was Mr Bs down the seafront when they had the phones in the club ?

Nope. Club Art was Storm. Phones in the club was when MrBs changed to Buzz.

Does that include gay bars. :winking:

Last gay bar I was in,(and the only one to my knowledge),was an excellent pub near the Millenium Stadium before and after our 2nd visit there.A lot of Shrimpers walked in,took one look around and went straight out again, missing out on an excellent selection of draft beers and a great jukebox.The two (straight)Shrimpers I was with and myself had a fine old time there.:smiles:

The Dick Turpin on the A127 used to be The Brighton Run, The Sutton Arms was once The Fishermans and on a personal note, while living in Plymouth I always prefered Boobs as a stinking, rotting rathole to the refit that became Norma Jeans.

It was originally called "The Harrows"
