On Windmill Street thinking of Cox's Bar

Now it is pretty easy to miss this building on Windmill Street, especially in the summer when the trees in front are in full leaf.

But for any over a certain age this was and will always be Cox’s Bar which was a rare place to spend an evening.

Like Andy who took the pictures I spent many happy hours there but for all sorts of reasons stopped going.

And then it was gone, or at least transformed into something more smooth which then also went.

There will be those with more vivid memories of the place and above a detailed history of when it first opened,

some of the characters that inhabited both sides of the bar and a few sad tales.

But then I suppose a bit like that rather silly observation on the 1960s .......... if you remember it you weren’t there.

That said I do remember the bar and invite others to supply their memories.
