The Jolly Farmer was situated on the corner of Orchard Street and Market Street. Closed in the 1980s it was also known as the Farmers Arms. You can still see 'Stables Farmers Arms' inscribed in the stone work above the ground floor windows. It is now used as Cookies cafe.

Geoff Wilkinson	1974/1989	I started off as barman and ended up as duty/relief manager for Jim Blackburn. Until the goon of an assistant manager though he could do a better job of it and watered down all the stock. He fooled the area directors, kept his job. Within a year it closed down.
