 Crick's

Crick's was the only name it was known by locally. If the pub had an official name, which i suppose it had, i can't remember it ever being mentioned. (Or seeing it).

The reason you might not have heard of it in the 1980s plus, Robert, is that by then, it had returned to being just another pub. From 1965 onwards, many of the local miner participants of Crick's, (Coppice Colliery) had begun to travel to and live in pastures new, because the run-down of the Colliery began in February of that year. Such places as Selby, Cotgrave and various other far flung coal mines.
I heard Crick's began to eventually quieten down from that date onward.

Also, a lot of the ex-miners took up alternative local employment, but with quite a lot of the former comradeship of the mine disappearing.
