The Coopers Rest ... is laid to rest.

Workies in there now ripping it to bits. Its going to be flats.

Perhaps a really crappy [Punch Tavern] pub at the end but it had its day.

I had my one and only supernatural experience there.

There was a time, 40ish, years ago the back room was so busy at the weekends it was waitress service only!

One or two of the early Hibs 12th Man meetings were held there.

Used to be rammed after every home game so I have no doubt there will be Hibs stories to tell.

Didn't Ronnie Simpson own or run it for a while?

I seem to remember getting absolutely steaming in there in the aftermath of the Foster cup game, probably just about the last time I was in there too!

Yes, 1980 ish. Rumours are that the bar staff were pissed off when the Christmas bottle bonus was replaced by a nice house plant by his missus.
