Yes that's the one.

Who remembers The Saw? Was in City centre and I never went in. Could well have been closed for while but still had the sign up???

Remember it well, came out one night half cut

The Saw?

Get th'i coyt bazz

Well known pub for having bands on, it was nicknamed the Band Saw by the Tennant

Wasn't it up Little Westgate on the site of the Tavern, up from the Wine Lodge.

What about the Twenty Vaults on York Street. Charlie and Mary were landlord and landlady when I started going in..me and about a dozen mates off Eastmoor used to start there back in the 60's I remember Charlie always wore a battered old pair of white tennis pumps.we used to leave there and then to Talbot & Falcon Black Rock Strafford White Horse and Mitre with sometimes pubs a bit lower down Westgate thrown in for good measure.great days late 60's and 70's for Wakefield pubs and nightlife. Twenty Vaults eventually became New York bar and we used to finish off in there for last hour or so at weekends.talk about sardines packed in a can it was standing room only every night. Halcyon days indeed.

Yep, that's the one.

No but there's a young Cheshire Cat on there with the flat cap on, stood at the side of Bazzo

your pushing it,

Did you play with Eastmoor u17s and live on Park Lodge Lane?

New York Bar finished many a Sunday night singing "Rockaria" ans "Land of hope and glory" before staggering back towards Eastmoor head full of thoughts of the barmaid with the enormous "chest"

We used to do the New York bar midweek when everywhere else was quiet, was it a Tuesday evening?

Always seemed to be full to the gunnels whenever I went in, but time has a strange effect on the memory

No poplar, I was talking about Normy/Wakefield being quiet, not the NYB.

yes i did, played with Eastmoor U17s for 1 season,we used to get changed in the outhouse at back of the Albion Inn on Stanley Road,Trinity's winger Fred Smith's Mam and Dad used to run it at the time. i went on to play 3 seasons with Wakefield Trinity Juniors and Intermediates. after that, went back to Eastmoor Open age side in '69. i played my last game with them when i was 40. have many fond memories and met many good friends through Rugby League,are you one of them chissitt?

Could well be old boy

If Graham Howell was your best mate, and you went to QUEGS. not that I did and Trevor Peake was OUR coach

yes, Graham was my best mate and also my best man at my wedding. went to Thornes House Grammar School though not QUEGS. Trevor Peake was our coach @ the time & a very good bloke.

Kevin W*** eh

small world old lad, Baz Lindop and me played with you when we got changed at the Albion, decent team but we had to leave when it turned out we were slightly too old.
I played centre to Howelly and made him some tries

went to Brookhouse u19s from there, then finished up at Wakey in u19s with Terry Crook, then got distracted with things far more important

Hmmm, was it Rugby union?

played along side, John not played with

What was the pub (hexagonal or round shaped) just after the first Southbound M1 junction from the M62? We played there a couple of times with a band I was in in the mid 70's ealy 80's. I think Mike Storey was the booking agent.

Could well have been The Arabesque.
Replaced now by a doctors surgery.
