A few weeks ago there was chat on the blog about The Golden Gates Hotel in Mount Vernon where Slade had made an appearence early in their career. It was interesting to hear the story behind the venue and after reading it Sam Gillan from Dunoon got in touch looking for your help:

"My mum worked in the 'The Gates' or the Mount Vernon Hotel for years when I was young.She was a cleaner during the day and a bar maid at night.My brother and I used to earn some pocket by working in the cloakroom at the weekends when there was big functions on i.e. weddings,dinner/dances etc. It was a shame when it closed down,I would like to know if anyone has any pictures etc.of the place for my mum?"

Drop me an e-mail if you can help Sam out...
