Yates’s Wine Lodge in Talbot Road was a popular venue in the 1980s and 1990s and decades either side of that until it sadly succumbed to a huge blaze in 2009. But we can’t take away the memories and these photos tap into the incredibly popular bar, the people, moments and how it looked and changed through the years. You are bound to recognise some faces...
We love taking you on a trip down memory lane looking back at people and places through the decades - from long, lost boozers to memorable moments in time and much, much more - sign up to our NEW newsletter here
