Take a step back in time and experience it. Now think about it, and think about it carefully!

You had no other alternatives, no supermarket booze.

There would be no live football, no mobile phones, bandits etc.

What would the lighting be like? The characters who got in there?

Yes, I like the modern pubs but I also like the old style pubs too!

Speak to actual strangers 😳 not vía insta / facefook 😳😳. I bet people felt the need to be much more polite to each other.

Nellies is an old fashioned pub, I have been in there before Beverley races when I owned a horse that was running 👍
I have also been to the pub in Skidby not far away where I ate a Yorkshire pudding that was the size of a loaf of bread 🍞 👍

Pretty much aye, it’s lit by gas lanterns. I think someone just posted a picture of it actually, it’s called Nellies by the locals but it’s actually called The White Horse Inn.

Not sure how many actual strangers there would have been in a pub in those days. People tended to go to the pub closest to their homes, or workplace, and very few, with the exception of large cities, would have had strangers coming in with any regularity.
 
North Riding Hotel in central Middlesbrough was my first local. Most of my childhood friends used to drop in there.
It served a Youngers brew , and lager was an unknown then.
Although I have very pleasant memories, I can also recall that there were many fights in the NR, more than I have ever seen since.

I would disagree with you to a certain point regarding strangers frequenting pubs, especially in towns similarly positioned as Middlesbrough. You have to remember we had the docks with ships coming in from all over the world. My own great-grandfather came off a boat from the West Indies circa 1909 and never returned. I think in certain pubs it might have been the total opposite with people coming looking for work in the steel mills, docks and shipyards.

We would see in South Bank people from all nationalities in The Station Hotel, The Junction, The Queens, etc. and I am sure it will have been the same in Cargo Fleet and pubs over the boarder.
