The best part of fireworks for me was getting them out of the sideboard every night to have a look at them.
I just loved the smell and the bright coloured labels.

Thanks Mike, But it's not The Troc, Shakespear or Temple Bar.
The Sputnik was Apparently at the top of Temple Street.

I am still trying to place this pub at the top of Temple Street.
It was near the top. Apparently you went down some Stairs. After being called the Sputnik it was changes to the Red Something or other. The sign was like a big Red Star and it was next door to the San Carlos restaurant. Thanks SB

SB, With that much information it sounds like you must know where it was.
Have you stood on the street and looked for likely spots yet?
