THE ROVERS RETURN A brief history by Mike Plowman ’30 years ago there used to be a Black Maria outside Rovers Return every Sat’d’y night. An’ coppers used to walk two at a time down Coronation Street. Annie Walker wouldn’t o’ lasted five minutes’ Ena Sharples. The Rovers Return is a fictional English pub in the highly popular and long-running British soap opera Coronation Street. The name originally comes from The Rover’s Return in Withy Grove, Manchester, a 14th century building. The Coronation Street script first begins in 1902 when the pub was built by the Newton and Ridley brewery. A follow-up anthology to Children of Albion Rovers: An Anthology of New Scottish Writing that came out in 1998. Another six novellas. But only three are Scots this time. Joining the Scots are an Anglo, an American, and that Irish globetrotter Emer Martin, whose Breakfast in Babylon is a cracker of a novel. Her novella in this anthology, “Teeth Shall Be Provided,” has some of the same.
THE ROVERS RETURN INN has faced many changes over the years,the most important ones being the people who have lived and workedin the building. However, there have also been changes in thelayout of the bar and living quarters and in the atmosphere ofthe pub.
Originally,the pub was sectioned off into three separate bars. although theonly entrance into the pub was through the Public Bar. The smallestroom, the Snug, was where unaccompanied women traditionally drank.Up to the First World War, this was the only room the women wereallowed to be served in. Even in 1960, a sign in the Snug warnedthe ladies that they would he thrown out of the pub if they lingeredat the bar. Pensioners like Ena, Minnie and Martha drank in theSnug because the drinks were a half-penny cheaper there than inthe Public.
The other bar in the Rovers was the Select. This room wasreached via a small corridor along the side of the Snug. It doubledas the Street’s function room - complete with stage area - anda room where patrons could drink in private away from the crowds,paying a penny more for their drinks and waitress service Hardlyany-one used the facility.
At Christmas the Select would be thrown open to everyonefor shows and sing-songs. Memorable moments include Minnic Caldwellreciting ’The Owl And The Pussy Cat’ at a party in 1969(she could not remember more than the first verse) and Rita Littlewood’simpersonation of Marlene Dietrich in a 1972 show.
Rita, a professional singer, also appeared a year later in a showput on by the local ladies as a forfeit for losing a bowls’ match.The only problem was that the ladies had to present the cabaretin drag. There were boos and hisses ashen Rita walked on stagein a glittering dress and blonde wig but the men roared with laughterwhen she announced, in a husky voice, that she was Danny LaRue.
The last show to be put on in the Select was the 1984 talent show,in which Percy Sugden presented his terrible farm-yard impressionsand Alf Roberts told awful jokes.
The Public was the largest of the three bars, furnishedwith cast-iron tables and wooden chairs, although most of theregulars preferred to stand at the bar, chatting to the staff.Two doors led off from the Public, one to the gents and the cellar,the other to the ladies’ lavatory. There was also a trap-doorto the cellar behind the bar, but this was rarely used.
Space behind the Rovers’ bar was at a premium until 1964when a wooden cupboard, used for storing glasses, was removedfrom the middle of the floor. The cupboard had always been inthe way and the barmaids were forever complaining that the splinteredwood kept laddering their stockings, as they tried to squeezeround it.
In 1961, Annie Walker made reference tothe fact that thepub needed complete renovation and drew up plans for alterations,which included knocking the three bars into one.
She faced huge opposition from her husband and customers, wholiked the pub the way it was, and the idea was dropped.
The pub had always been a working-man’s local and the traditionalsawdust had only been removed from the floor as late at 1957,along with the spittoons that had stood along the bar since 1902.
The three-bar system remained in operation until that fatefulnight in June 1986 when the Rovers was gutted by fire.
The pub was then completely refurbished by the brewery and thethree bars were knocked into one large one.
The other big change in the layout was in the hall of the prizeate quarters. The fire had caused so much damage to the staircasethat a new one was built going up in the opposite direction.The original layout of The Rovers Return (1902 - 1986)The Rovers, gutted by fire!The new layout of the Rovers Return (1986 - present)
In 1992. the Rovers’ kitchen was condemned by the Healthinspector and was completely modernised to meet the requirementsof new legislation. This has also allowed a larger selection ofbar meals to be served.
Another change took place in May 1993 when bar pumps wereinstalled behind the ban The last bar pumps to be seen in theRovers were taken out in 1968, but now real ale has returned tothe pub, to comply with the new licensing laws which require pubsto offer a larger range of beers to their customers.
One thing has remained constant at the Rovers, customersare always guaranteed a friendly welcome, a shoulder to cry onand scintillating conversation such as this classic line fromthe bar-maid Raquel Wolstenhulme - ’I were always led tobelieve I were equally good at most things. I were told that whenI were at school. They said - ’Raquel - you have no particulartalents.’ !’Reference Source: ’Life and Times at the Rovers Return’. writtenby Daran Little and published by Index.

About the Pub
’The Rovers’ is an interesting pub to say the least . The bar features hand pumps fashioned from the ends of fire hoses, a real fire burns beneath the dart board, and one room is preserved as a shrine to Blackburn Rovers FC. Then there is the truly eclectic and enthusiastic mix of clientele, referred to as ’Bushy People’ in the local CAMRA newsletter after the Bushy’s house beers. Desperate Dan size portions of food are served at lunchtimes. The Rovers held it’s first beer festival in November 2010, returning in 2012, and fingers crossed it will now become an annual event. The Rovers would be a famous landmark if it was not tucked away behind the Town Hall.
