It’s 1969 old Tom behind the bar and a bar billiards table in the corner of the back bar. Then Everything stopped for Monty Python- no drinks served, no interruption, just laughter. Normal service resumed til Thursday the following week
In the photo, to the right of the pub was Lines Ironmongers, and to the left of the old ‘coaching arch’ was Allison’s saddlery shop. If you went through the arch to the back of the pub, The Loyal Order of Moose used to have their meeting room on the upper floor. In 1959, the jazz combo I used to play in would practice our songs up there. I’m glad to see that music still plays a prominent role in the pub today.
