district

Fascinating. Not an area I'm familiar with so Googled it. Streetview shows that same location but today and 'modern'. The pub is still there. The distant pointy spoil heap has been reclaimed and lowered but can be made out too. www.google.co.uk/maps/@54.8219949,-1.4519736,3a,75y,50.43...

None

I've had a few pints in there. In recent history (Well about 25 years ago) it's where the well known Russel (Lol) Lawson uttered the immortal words, "I went for a chinese take away last night. I ate half, wor lass ate half and we threw the other half away!" I wonder if the lads all sat on their hunkers are waiting for work or the pit bus to get them up to Eppleton?

Porcy Mane Really? I wasn't born then ;)

Lucky you. Meant you didn't have to suffer the noise that was Kajagoogoo being emitted from pub sound systems. >?)

Brisbane City is the central suburb and central business district of Brisbane, the state capital of Queensland, Australia.[3] It is colloquially referred to as the "Brisbane CBD" or "the city". It is located on a point on the northern bank of the Brisbane River, historically known as Meanjin, Mianjin or Meeanjin in the local Aboriginal Australian dialect.[4] The triangular-shaped area is bounded by the median of the Brisbane River to the east, south, and west.[5] The point, known at its tip as Gardens Point, slopes upward to the northwest where the city is bounded by parkland, and the inner city suburb of Spring Hill to the north. The CBD is bounded to the northeast by the suburb of Fortitude Valley. To the west, the CBD is bounded by Petrie Terrace, which in 2010 was reinstated as a suburb. The Brisbane central business district is an area of densely concentrated skyscrapers and other buildings, interspersed by several parks such as Roma Street Parklands, City Botanic Gardens, and Wickham Park. It occupies an area of 1.367 km2. The city is laid out according to a grid pattern surveyed during the city's early colonial days, a feature typical of most Australian street patterns. Major landmarks and attractions in the CBD include City Hall (including the Museum of Brisbane), the Story Bridge, the Howard Smith Wharves, ANZAC Square, St John's Cathedral, the Brisbane River and its Riverwalk network, the City Botanic Gardens, Roma Street Parkland, Queensland Parliament House, Old Government House, and Customs House.
