Porters was situated at 17 Milton Road. This pub is now used as an NHS dental clinic.

This pub was known as Oliver's Ale House for decades and was a favourite haunt of Kirk Balk School's Sixth Formers in the 80s. The legend was that, as long as you were well behaved, the staff would serve you in a nappy! I misspent many Friday night here between the ages of 16 and 18. It was never the same when it became Porters, which was a mistake because the Porter family tried to make it more up market and it failed very quickly.
