Yep, that was the pub in Cotton St. I knew as the Picadilly in my era (`66/`67 ish) I hope that was its name and that I`m not having a `senior moment` Great photos by the way. I`ve got that book too but it`s yonks since I`ve looked at it. Will dig it out tomorrow. (It already is tomorrow!)

Thread St. & Mill St. remain great mysteries to me. Although my mate stayed in Cotton St. we tended not to drink in that neck of the woods. Was only ever in The Picadilly in Cotton St. once but never ventured round to Thread St! Although neither closed nor derelict, The Grosvenor is worth a mention. It was in Union St., between Gt. Hamilton St. & Stock St. and the car-park for St. Charles Church now occupies that space!

Oops! You`re right of course ... sorry `bout your mammaries

There was a pub at the corner of Cotton Street and Abbey Street called The Picadilly, perhaps you`re confusing the name with The Old Tontine in Gauze Street (or maybe not ... I stand to be corrected!) Another pub long-since vanished was The Auld Hundred (The Aul` Hunner) on the opposite corner from RH Findlays. Curiously enough, The Imperial Bar has risen from the dead a few yards from its original site at the foot of New Street, about 30 years after closing down!
