My father Peter James Murphy and my Mother
Sheila Murphy were landlord and landlady of the Boot Inn , 124 North
Allington Bridport Dorset , from July 1974 to August 1986 , we had many good
years there , it was a locals pub in its early days but the welcome to
visitors on Holiday through B&B insured a good mix of people passing through
its doors . It was a sad day hearing it had closed .
There are lots of memories of great times especially around carnival time as
we entered a float every year through our time there ,the locals getting
involved in its construction in the pub car park each summer , there is
evidence of us all on film at the end of this clip http://player.bfi.org.uk/film/watch-dorsets-bridport-carnival-1978/#.VqPRNF3W62s.facebook
