Priory Bar Late 1978

Digital Reporter

 

I missed the chance to put up this photo earlier in the year when I exclusively shared the full researched history of the Priory Bar. Taken in late 1978, shortly before demolition, this building was constructed in 1889 and lasted 89 years.

The final days of the Priory Bar, awaiting demolition on Glasgow Road….

The history of this building, public house and tenancy can be read here :
