The Good Ale Days


Several Hereford United supporters had a quick pint or two in the Church Inn close to Spotland, the home of Rochdale, before the game last Saturday.

On the wall was a price list from 1938. (click on pic to enlarge)

Whilst most of the products are still available, Baxters pale ale, costing just 4 old pennies per pint, seems to be extinct. And no-one seemed to know what bogie was.

Edit - Bruno will be St Bruno (the Pipe tobacco) and Bogie is/was a brand of chewing tobacco (twist). Ex.

Whilst the Church Inn was on the one side of the ground, on the other was unusually named Cemetery Hotel.
