The Mother Redcap was situated on London Road. This pub is now used as an Indian restaurant.
I used to live very close to this pub, which was my father’s local. I remember that there used to be a plaque on the wall near the door with the following rhyme on it: Old Mother Redcap According to her tale Lived twenty and one hundred years Through drinking this good ale It was her meat, it was her drink Her medicine beside And if she still had drunk this ale She never would have died.
