On the crossroads by McDonalds, and the former Jonathans site. Opposite the Amber Tavern. Tricorn House sits there now.
Can anyone remind me of the name of The Amber Tavern before it was tarted up? I recall it was a rough hole.
Not Tricorn House. Was Albright House. I and Baggie Nick used to work there in the 90s. I also worked there during the 80s. Was the office of the year in 1975.
