Did anyone else visit the Bier Keller, which was in a basement below Marks and Spencer, entrance on the high street? Certainly did, and the one beside the furniture shop that is now The George

It was indeed the railway, and used to tilt when more people would congregate on one side! Sticky wobbly flooring is all I remember about this dive, still drank there a fair bit though

I think the garden centre went years ago. Loved going there in the summer, water always freezing. Changing rooms were used for football in the winter All boarded up now but the boars are still there. I did jump off the 1st board once and then quickly swam into a mob of swimmers in the shallow end to stop getting kicked out. Mind you, as someone stated earlier, you wouldn't want to stay in the deep end for long as it was always bloody freezing

It was almost beside the red deer in South Croydon, between that and the old Jaguar dealer that moved further up the road opposite Whitgift School if I remember rightly

kennards, grants & Allders. Didn't Kennards become Allders? Debenhams was always opposite and was improved when they built it into Centrale. C & A used to be where Next is now and Primark was originally Littlewoods. Edited by Deleagle (02 Feb 2022 2.57pm)

the forum boozer, whitgift centre pre-covered. Often drank upstairs there as there was always rumbling and breaking glass noises coming from downstairs.

What interests me about the wine list, it's how comprehensive and diverse it is, compared to today. Oh come on Ali, what about the upmarket Neirsteiner :P
