Highbury Farewell 2006

A fond farewell to Highbury, the home of Arsenal Football Club since 1913 as well as host to numerous friends, memories and events that have been a part of my life for 30 years.

Local Hosteleries - "The Bailey"


This the pub that most of my friends and I have now spent most time drinking in. After moving from the Higbury Barn we did attempt a short move to the Wig and Gown but soon moved down the road to The Bailey. It hasn't always been a perfect relationship but celebration parties in 1998, 2002 and 2004 have always been good fun. Unfortunately, the pub has also been recognised as a good pub for away fans as well. This means we get overcrowded (though generally good natured - unless the lovely Chelsea fans arrive) with mostly northern clubs' travelling numbers. It has also suffered from lack of beer on occassions but we always come back as it is the best pub around - especially on midweek nights with a pre-match Thai Curry!
