Going Kismet later, there's a reason it's been going strong for 40 years.

Going Kismet later, there's a reason it's been going strong for 40 years. Wow, 40yrs is impressive. What was the one on top of the bus station called up'anley. I spoiled many a romantic couples evening, staggering in there at 1:30am!?! |

The first one was in Stoke at the bottom of city road. It sat just over the canal bridge on the left hand side heading towards Fenton. It was near to the Winger pub. These buildings were knocked down to make way for the A500 road improvements. I know that this curry house was there in the late 60s but can't remember what it was called.
