Do Trop, eh...
The only place on Earth where a bloke would always pull - whether he wanted to, or not.

Could it possibly be the worlds sexiest place?
Because they’re that sexy, they don’t need all these toys and outfits etc…..

Found this which some may find interesting, gives a little insight into the later owner and what “The Trop” used to be like in the 60’s through to it’s closure

The club near to the bus station ? There was a club underneath the Station pub, it had several names through the years I think. The Sands, Trax and Reflections, my memory may be a little hazy on the names someone may correct me.

Blueberries. Assume it's totally unused these days. We used to finish work as bar staff in Colne and go for the last hour on a Friday night. Going in there totally sober - saw some sights!

I've been to and lived in worse places tbf. I used to frequent 'The Hour Glass' in Nelson on Leeds Road a couple of times a week in the late 80's/early 90's.

I used to go to the Trop with my girlfriend in the early 80’s. A bit like taking a packed lunch to a restaurant.

The Hour Glass was my 'local' distance wise but I much preferred the longer walk to The Shooters.

How many pubs left in Nelson these days? Shooters, Station and Lord Nelson, can't think of any others?

Maybe it's the other way round since the accolade is based on sex toy and lingerie sales, as there's no need to spice up the offerings.

In Nelson you can get the mucky porn shoot Eastern European cheap motel setting... In every house nearly.
I've been there and done it.

I used to go to great marsden years ago, golden ball, hour glass, zoo, once upon a time wasn’t a bad night out but you could see where things were heading on the pub scene, when large parts of the population don’t drink alcohol & you are trying to run a profitable pub it’s a problem as a understatement.
