I was never a big Tonkers fan though to be honest. Denby lodge on a monday night was always brilliant.... Thursday night down Oakerthorpe....a couple of beers at the anchor then up to the peacock finishing the night off with a ride into Ripley and a kebab from Gills..... Friday morning at work was always slow going and included lots of trips to the bathroom.....then Friday night straight back on it - Eagle Tavern at Heage then then the bus up to Ripley and around it all went again..... I was the same as you with tonkers, probably an hour in there before the regal. we used to always meet at the old sandpiper for pound a pint before going round the pubs. both Friday and Saturday used to be heaving in Ripley, loved it.

It was across the road from Willows (and the ambulance shed), it did get knocked down and a part of either Derby College or Uni built there, think it’s an art building/complex.
