My grandparents Charles & Winnie Barron had this pub in the early eighties. It was always busy and always had a party-Easter Lord Mayors show etc. Sunday was cheese and silver onions on a stick day and the after church (Precious Blood) crowd would come.

Pulled down in 1999. Crying shame. Spent many many many happy lunchtimes in here with office staff from around the corner and of course the hoards of postmen from around the corner at the local sorting office. It should have been renamed as the posties retreat there were that many in here. Fantastic landlady and staff, always up for a bit of banter. Wish I could remember her name. The husband always seemed too be walking out the door with his golf clubs. A truly brilliant little back st boozer. Was gutted but not surprised its no longer with us. Still a great shame though. Wont forget those long 1980s lunch hours ever .

Name Dates Comments Brenda Walker 1944 My father was the landlord of this pub when a V1 destroyed it. He died of complications to his injuries. Neal Francis late 1980s/early 1990s Many hours spent playing dart pool and cards, after hours as we worked shifts, so it wasnt unusual to go in quite late and stay till the early hours.
