Used to love The Brickies, can't believe that's gone.
Friday evenings after work sat in the front bit on George Street watching the world go by....

Absolute tragedy if The Brickies is gone, best jukebox EVER!

[Hamilton]

One of the worst bits is that the good ol' pubs have been replaced by soulless, characterless,  hateful pub chains,

[John Edwards]

Cheshire Cheese
Woodcourt*
Cock o'the North (Talisman)
Yew Tree
......and over half the pubs in Northenden !
Fond memories of The Woodcourt, halfway down Brooklands Road. Served an excellent pint of Wilsons, which perfectly complemented their ploughman's lunch and went down particularly well on a sunny lunchtime out at the front of what was a magnificent building. Mortified, a few years ago, to discover it had been bulldozed to make way for flats. I'm even old enough to remember the Big B, as opposed to the Little B, which was at the Brooklands end of Hope Road, pretty much opposite the railway station.

It'll be cans on Stamford park at opening time at this rate! I'd been in plenty of the pubs above, and they did what they said on the tin.the pubs left in Alty are soulless, I couldnt begin to even try and compare a pub in the altrincham area with any of the pubs in Weymouth or the pub we found in Gainsborough last week.

[Paul Cain's Chip Pan]

I remember when The Pig & Porcupine reopened as "Kelly's Bar" and it used to be rammed in there some nights. Good days.

[Derek Stubbs]

The Downs

[Darren]

The Grapes

Hughsey think we sadly have to accept that bar meals and children are now big money earners too.  Walk into the slug and lettuce, no we will bring your drinks to the table before you can have a look yourself on whats on draught and please mind the prams and yes we will clear the mess from the previous family.  I was very raraly taken into a pub as a child but now its seems second nature.

I know its not a pub but I think losing McDonalds in Alty town centre was a blow too AND Ben's 50p store AND the Red Balloon AND Costa's before it was done up AND the worlds bumpiest car park where the cinema is AND the Roller Rink AND the tramp lady that lived near Dunham Massey in the woods & used to hang around the station poor girl AND Spudulike AND the grassy bank by the Main Stand AND how the snack bar by the Main Stand was split for the seats & terrace

Our Price/Music Zone....many visits after school to get cds.

My Dad took me to The Downs before my first Alty game, while Litten Tree (or Bar Med as it was then) was where I went drinking after games when I was 15/16.
