Dear Angie It's a name only to me, but one that I certainly recognise. I was too young to frequent pubs in those days except those where I could sit outside with pop and crisps while my dad and sometimes both my parents had a drink inside, and Market Gate was the wrong idrection to go in from Buttermarket St, as it was too urban and rowdy and its pubs had no places for kids. I'm sure the Frith collection book, which has a mass of pictures pointing in all directions from the Market Gate location circa 1955, is likely to have some picture of it, or, if not, the Warrington Library / Museum site. It may be history to you, but it's my life to me! (though I left Warrington except for visiting parents in 1964) Stan -----Original Message----- From: eng-lan-warrington-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:eng-lan-warrington-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Angie Brunner Sent: 25 February 2007 16:04 To: eng-lan-warrington@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [LAN-WARR] Warrington Pubs of 1920 Hi Stan: What a wealth of Warrington history you have! Do you by any chance know anything of the Crown & Sceptre hotel at Market Gate once owned by Greenall's Brewery? I gather it is now an insurance building. I know there was a pub by that name in the 1800s then rebuilt at the time of the restructuring of Buttermarket Street.
