Now this is the Parkside Hotel, or at least it was.
It stands on the corner of Parkside Street and Lloyd Street South and will offer up many memories of people who went there before or after a match.
It isn’t a pub I ever went in and I can’t track down its history.
I don’t know when it was built or when it closed, but I am confident that there will be peoplewho can supply the answers.
It will have been converted sometime after the last football match was played nearby.
And I have to say that its conversion to flats has saved the place and if this 1971 photograph is anything to go by has left it a cleaner and more impressive building.

My lovely Mam called Marie worked at the Parkside in the 1960s and 70s with Gladys and Jim who lived across the road. I remember her telling me that when City played United, they had to pull the grills down as the fans were throwing pots at each other from different rooms like the Wild West. It’s such a long time ago now and like a different world with all the pubs that have closed. I would never ever have guessed that this would have happened in a million years as it was so much a part of life back then and for hundreds of years before that.
