I wonder what was the last pub to have a Spittoon. I'll start this off with mate's mum's pub, the 'Manor', Union St., mid '50s.

I certainly don't remember any around here, i did come across one in a pub in a mining village in Scotland some years ago.
On enquiring why it still had one the answer was a lot of miners still used chewing tobacco and ping, ping, thats where they spit.

When I joined the Andrew in 58 they had spitkids in the messes but you weren't allowed to use them, only polish them. I'll try and sort out a photo of the mess and put it up so that peeps can see what a spit kid looked like.

At the Old Colonial they had one. When we removed it during renovations, we donated it to the tram museum. When they inspected it, they said it was very old and were looking at all the old shoe polish on the brass and saying how many people do you think scuff there shoes on this

A nice shiny brass one, no spittoon though.
