@neheritagelib I understand one of the first ice hockey games at the newly post-war rebuilt Durham Ice Rink was between PoW's from Featherstone and the forerunners to the Durham Wasps in 1947 🏒
@janlouth@neheritagelib @JoeMc199 Can confirm... I used to work in what is now Sambuca's when it was Casa in the early 2000's and there's arches visible in the cellar. Also a fair bit of spookiness. I often had to 'swap' on bottling up duties because some lads were terrified of being the cellar on their own.
A bit more from last month's ice rink exhibition in Durham. Thanks to @IceHockeyUK for sharing the story of the rediscovered Wasps' trophies: https://t.co/gHY7cOeHFE
The days when we'd take 20+ coaches to Wembley and the police would have to shut Claypath in order to let the Big Blue Convoy out of Durham. 💙💛 #goodtimes#durhamwasps
