Malt Kiln and Fish&Chips

Or the Malt Kiln, our Saturday night haunt in the 90’s.

 

Just round the corner from us on High House Rd at the time. Happy days.

 

Was that when Ritchie was landlord? Or he might have been a bit later

 

I lived near the Malt Kiln (1966 to 1971 and on and off a bit after as well) learnt all my dart skills in the taproom there. Can't remember the landladies name but she didn't take any prisoners. Used to go in from 1969 (when I was 16) onwards.

 

Can’t remember , bloke in mid 50’s?

 

no. Ritchie isn’t 50 yet never mind back then. Thinking back he was there early 2000’s

 

Sorry don’t remember Storck. It’s like having that glazed Tetley’s feeling late on a Saturday night!
Usually ended up with F&C from Bolton Fisheries…..

 

An apprentice Thursday after noon off , we got paid at dinner time , around 72-76.

 

I was usually a Peel Park fish shop man myself but remember the little bloke who owned the Bolton Junction one and wiggled his ears at customers! Or was that just the Tetleys from the Swing blurring my memory

 

I preferred the little single story hut on Dudley Hill Rd , just round the corner from the library. Fab F&C but it was a distance from the Kiln when one has had a few…eeek!
