Many memories of Ken and Pat mostly getting chucked out the Belle Vue for being underage 😐 but I did have my wedding reception there in the 70s …
Amazing couple …The Belle Vue wasn’t the same without them… I have many amazing memories

I’m very sorry to hear of Ken’s passing and my condolences go to the whole family.

But Ken Long, what a fella, an absolute one off and what a life he had. Ken was a great bloke who ran the iconic Belle Vue Pub, I especially remember the 1970/80’s, they were without a doubt halcyon days. I had many great times there as well as the Bowes Incline and I’m very happy to have known Ken Long, RIP.
