My old man used to frequent the Dog and Partridge. He used to travel over Woodhead and back every day Monday to Friday. ( Worksop to Crawfords biscuit factory in Liverpool with bulk flour ) He would call at the Robin Hood for breakfast on the way over and the pub for a pint on the way home in the evening. I would go with him at every opportunity and he would take advantage of this and get me to blow the load out while he had a kip.
There were a couple of pubs in Tintwhistle but I can’t remember their names; he never stopped there though.
Traveling over Woodhead for so many years, mid 50’s till the mid 60’s. He got to know a great many regular drivers and I remember the enamel being worn through around the light switch on his Leyland Super Comet from constantly flashing his lights to them.
Hope this is of some interest. ROCHY.
