    The Westoe was our lunchtime local there was an alleyway that went through towards the college . As well as a public bar and lounge bar there was also a gentleman's buffet bar and a snug . We were drinking in the lounge bar at lunchtime Newcastle exhibition was two and Sixpence a pint and a pie which was from a local bakery and came in hot being mince and onions was also two and Sixpence so for £1 you had 3 pints and a pie unless of course you was on the dietary lunch and you just had four pints
