The Athol closed 40 years ago, and has since had many new guises. It is currently an amusement arcade. Around the corner opposite Cole's car park can be seen a sign still saying Athol Hotel (any chance of a picture, if it's still there, please ?).

The Athol used to be one of our regular stops on Sat pub crawl in the early 60's.

I seem to remember two entrances one on Charles St on one on Cambridge St (I think)

To get to the Cambridge St room from the Charles St entrance you had to go downstairs.

There was a regular piano player downstairs ,the piano was a baby grand the pianist was a snuff taker.

The understudy for the regular pianist used to have a black lab tied to the piano stool
