During the late to mid-forties the publican was my step-grandfather William Clark(e). As a 9/10 year old returning evacuee I used to visit my grandmother there and sometimes stay at the pub. My two cousins together with their parents lived there for a short while helping to run the business during my grandmother’s final illness. **

During this time my cousins attended the now demolished school which was at the end of the road. (name currently forgotten).
