Hi all, been having a mint time reading the threads and seeing the photos, the local knowledge contained herein moves me to ask.....

Did the McNulty Offshore's Offices used to be a pub once and if so does anyone recall the name?

cheers in advance

Before they moved into the Readheads shipyard, McNulty's had a workshop off Victoria Rd in Laygate, they used to build canoes there.

It was demolished a couple of years ago. Can remember the foot bridge that connected Readheads offices on opposite sides of commercial Road.

Wasn't there a pub there called "The Pallatine"?

of course I am probably wrong, as I'm not sure of anything these days,

Thanks for posting the photo Jimmy. =D>
I've got some good memories of nights out there when the Amazing Squibs used to play.
Not to mention, one (or a few) lock-ins.

There was definately a pub on the readheads building itself, I've seen a picture of it somewhere, I won't rest until I find it.

Looked all over the forums but couldnt find the original post, apologies to the original poster for pinching their photie.

The pub was called "the London hotel". It was on the corner of the building next to the public landing. Anything you want to know about the river ask Mr-Angry.
