The Grosvenor was eventually demolished for the second phase
of the new shopping centre. It was regularly visited by Blackburn mods in
the early 1960s before going up the Stax nightclub. One of my most vivid
memories of that pub was written on the toilet wall which said Paulette
Goddard and John Wayne in Reap The Wild Wind and I couldn't help wondering
who would write such a thing on the wall of a urinal and why. On another
occasion we were in the snug and looking out of the window you could see
people approaching down the slope from the new shopping centre. My mate saw
his dad and as we were under age he fled into the back yard, climbed up the
pile of crates, and dropped into the back alley. where his dad was waiting.
You can't kid the kid can you. |
