Saddle Bar

A Memory of Manningham.

Hello me again. As I have so many lovely memories of Manningham, which I could reminisce about all day, I've decided to start by concentrating on what I think were local land marks. The Saddle Bar stands out vividly in my mind. Situated on Carlisle Road opposite the Malborough Picture house, the shop incorporated a wagon into its counter complete with wheel and all the associated horse tack etc. The smells were wonderful and would drift down the street to greet you. Ham shanks, meat & potatoe pies, cheese & onion pasties, pie & peas with lashings of mint sauce. My sister and I would always visit after swimming at the Drummond Road swimming baths on a saturday morning for a glass of Tizer and just to take in what to my young eyes was the sheer fantasy setting of it all. Has anyone got a photograph they would be willing to share? It would be most appreciated.
