Halifax Pubs Volume 3

Continuing my recent collection of pictures featuring the pubs of Halifax. This post features 7 pubs all pictured early one Sunday in May 2018.

Duke of Wellington

Opened as the Goose at the arcade at the turn of the Millennium, the building was originally home to the Co-operative society of Halifax. The name was changed to the Duke of Wellington in 2012.

Harrison Social

Originally a gentleman's club opened in 1890, the Borough Club, it became a pub / restaurant in the early 1980's and has been known as Flashman's, Bar Eleven and Harrison's Social since.

KoKo's and Flamenco

Once 1 pub, now split in to 2 units, KoKo's is in the former accommodation of the building with Flamenco's occupying the former pub unit. It is said to be the most renamed pub in Halifax with previous names including the Crown & Anchor, Heaths, The Adega, Broadies and the Continental amongst other names.

Maggie's and Mcfly's

Opening as a Jumpin Jak's Nightclub in 2002 in what had been Halifax's last remaining cinema, the building has had a number of owners and names since, including The Groove and Chicago's. Occasionally the upstairs where the cinema screens can still be seen is opened for the public to view and reminisce.

The Gundog

Opened in 1829 the pub frontage was completely rebuilt in the early 20th century. Prior to being renamed the Gundog in 2016 the pub has also be known as the Sportsman, the Cooper's Arms & the Rose & Crown.

The Jubilee

Renamed the Jubilee in 2012 to commemorate the golden jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II, the pub was more popularly known as the Portman & Pickles for many years. Previously known as the Wheatsheaf and the William Deighton.

Yates's Wine Lodge

Another pub that's had plenty of names including Rosie O'Grady's, Foggy's, the Black Swan and since 1992 has been the home of Yates Wine Lodge.

Green Park Tube Station

Green Park Tube Station is just 2 quick pictures I took whilst leaving the Jubilee Line stop in May 2019. It was my first experience on the tube despite having visited London many times, I had always avoided it as people I spoke to in London never seemingly had a good word to say about it. On this day I had my arm twisted by my daughter and gave it a go, and I have to say I was pleasantly surprised by the frequency, service and the people using the service. Definitely a thumbs up from me.

Green Park Tube Station is a stop on the Jubilee, Piccadilly and Victoria Lines in London, the pictures are of the Jubilee Line stop. The Jubilee Line was opened in stages with stage 1 opened by Prince Charles officially opening the line with a journey from Green Park to Charing Cross on the 30th April 1979. The full line finally completed in 1999 from Stanmore, North-West London to Stratford, East London.

The station sits in the City of Westminster local authority and is in fare zone 1. It is a Grade II listed building with the status granted on the 30th May 1972. In 2017 over 39.24million passengers used the station at an average of approx. 756000 per week, or 108000 per day.

There are 2 pictures which can be seen here and on Clickasnap, the ones there are full resolution, size and un-watermarked.
