[/quote] Only music Pub near the Corn Exchange is the Swan as far as I was aware (waiting for a gig there this month hopefully). Is the Black Horse the one by the Police Station that I've never been in? God I hope she hasnt become involved with the Swan in any way...

pete.young Posted January 7, 2009 Author Share Posted January 7, 2009 I can confirm that Phil and Michelle from the Milestone are going to take over the Railway. Last time I went past it it was still boarded up. I'll let you know when I find out. Dunno who is going into the Milestone but I hope we don't lose that as a music venue. The Black Horse is the one up by the nick - the last landlord apparently did a runner with the takings some time ago. I don't think it had a great reputation as a music pub, so some things probably won't change ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully, the new regime can go some way toward builidng a decent reputation in the future eh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
