I stand corrected Dave, of course it was Burrell. I too started at the City - even had my own cue!!!! and earned pennies scoring when they played Billiard Skittles on Table 5. I then moved on to the Workmes and even "held the rest" when Joe Davis played an exhibition there.
I had completely forgotten about Maxwell street - I was a regular there from around 15 on, mostly playing cards with John Macarthy and Kenny Beasley????. Downstairs I even played in Whist Drives with my mother - I used to get some serious glares from the oldies wen I made a mistake.
