I worked across the road from the Clarendon Hotel. I know I went in the odd time but cannot remember what it was like inside. This was back in the very early 80's. I'm sure it has certainly changed inside since then.Manchester Lass, Now and Thenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04946068658998389838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1536654191568196235.post-2578349903419392432010-04-23T06:37:14.775+01:002010-04-23T06:37:14.775+01:00Hi Gerald

There used to be a good 'Vault' which did well throughout the day. Tea times saw this pub doing very well.<br />I remember the 'Dark Mild' being a good pint here... and he kept a good Bitter, and his Guinness was always as it should be ... Cold..<br />Bill was a great bloke, who not just worked the bar and kept the pub going but looked after his wife who suffered ill health and lost her sight.<br />I was sad to see him leave and I do not think the pub as been as good since. It was the kind of pub that any town centre would have been proud of.Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04167792394551286975noreply@blogger.com
