The Pelican - was that the pub?

We used to go there because we could get served, and they did Hedgehog crisps too.

They used to have discos there on Friday nights that every creed and colour went to. You'd have Hassidic Jews dancing next to Sikhs, Hindus and Muslims and all the usual inner city crowd in the corners and propping up the bar. It was a real melting pot that reminded me of the Cantina scene in Star Wars for all it's colour and diversity. There was never any trouble and it was wonderful.

The curry house in Knowle when I lived there was called the Elora, but the place has changed so much in many ways - many of the old pubs have gone, although the Greswolde was still there last time I looked.

Does anyone remember the curry house on the Stratford Road called The Shirley Temple (cause it was in Shirley - geddit?)?
