Name Dates Comments
Frank Langwith 1940-1955 I lived here when my parents were landlords. They then took over The Ruskin Arms.
Ian Pickersgill 1976-1977 I used to work in this pub as a barman cellarman and have some very good memories of it.
There used to be a ghost in the pub and I felt her presence one Friday night whilst changing beer in the cellar.
At the time I worked there the Guvnor and his wife were Barry and Bev. (Can't remember there last name)
Lou Regan 1969-1972 My mum and dad, Charlie and Diane Jones, ran the Pigeons Hotel. I was born upstairs in November 1970. Dad always said it was haunted and a lady would walk through the wall in the function room
Ray Pool 1973 When the pub hosted cabarets such as Bill Haley I was in the band for Wheatley Taverns with Dev Douglas. Great days! We backed acts like Dave and Amos.
