http://www.hulldailymail.co.uk/whats-on/whats-on-news/popular-anlaby-road-pub-returning-374956 Thank **** for that. It was Ballamory Corner with the existing colour scheme. Landlord is 'a massive Hull FC fan' and I'm sure his wife Edna Lard is also. Just need to reduce the RL content of the place, and the glory days may return.
Dammit, you were too quick. I always had my suspicions about him tbh. FC fan after all, no wonder he likes talking about them so much.
Newington Hotel It is probable that the Newington Hotel, originally known as the Wold Carr Inn, was used as a works office for the new building sites north and south of the Anlaby Road in the 1860s; much in the same way as the Brickmaker’s Arms in Walton Street. Public houses were often the first properties to be built, usually at the corner of a development, and even before they were licensed were often used as makeshift works offices, and rooms for workers to shelter and receive their wages. In 1909 the pub had a new farrier’s shop, bottle store and shed built at the rear of the building, at a cost of £195.63 Originally, the pub had three-storeys, matching Cumberland Terrace on the east corner, and making a symmetrical entrance to Walton Street from the Anlaby Road, but the top floor was removed after World War Two, possibly as a safety measure following nearby bomb damage. A long-standing Moors’ & Robson’s pub, the corner of the building featured a large set of “M&R” initials within a stone plaque, which has since been covered or removed. Memories of the brewery were retained within the pub, which held a collection of photographs and brewery memorabilia until very recently. From circa 1901 to the early 1930s, the pub was run by the Parker family - notably Ernest Parker, who also had a local fruit and vegetable shop. The colloquial name Parker’s has been associated with the pub ever since, and it is now officially called Parker’s and is undergoing renovation at the time of writing.
No loss to me. It's been a RL pub since the KC opened.. Awful beer that went up in price when City were at home, and plastic glasses. I didn't mind it when it was Newington and Tony Banham worked the door, Once saw him pick three Sunderland fans up by the collars and throw them out. Also was there when Liverpool fans had to scatter when someone threw a bicycle through the window. Claradon could go the same way. Landlord serving wears a Fc shirt on City match days and he has the same gaggle of shirt wearing Fc fans sat clogging up the doorway on City home games. The Murphys is double the price it is in Ebeneezors too. Don't these pubs want our custom ? It says a lot for the local pub trade when both pubs at either end of Walton Street ( George been shut for ages) with the stadium on their doorsteps, plus the bumper week/few days they would have when the Fair is on, and a twice weekly market across the road but still cannot make it pay.
My Grandad used to live down Plane Street and often played the piano in there on a Saturday night when the Parkers used to run it...
Had to stop using it when they took the TV screens down that were showing the earlier kick offs and got in a DJ playing music to loud you couldn't hold a conversation so had to drink outside. The Albert Hotel is a far better pre match boozer with the biggest screen I've ever seen showing the football. Cheap beer and only 2 mins further away.
So he's another FC/Liverpool coat tailer ? I asked him why he feels the need to wear his Fc shirt when serving a pub full of Hull City fans on a match day. I'm taking my custom elsewhere.
