Howdley Doody?

Howdles Lane today, via the magic of Apple Maps. But where was Doody’s? Click for a larger version.

A really quick question that a reader raised in the week I’m having trouble finding anything out about, so if readers can help that’s be really wonderful.

The question is this: Do you know anything about a club that used to be on Howdles Lane (said to be ‘in the dip’) called The Castle Club, or Doody’s?

I’ve heard the name Doody’s before. What period was the club operating in, what was it (was it a Working Mens Club, a non-political or what?) – and what would be really good is memories of pictures.

I’m hoping Andy ‘Cap’n Ahab’ Dennis may have some input here.

Come on folks, what do you know please? Comment here or mail me: BrownhillsBob at Googlemail dot com. Cheers.

Would Doody’s have been present in this 1976 image of the Howdles Lane area from 1976? Image Kindly supplied by Lichfield District Council. Click for a larger version.
