Brewery Tap

The Brewery Tap was situated on the High Street.
I started work at Ciba (ARL) Ltd, Duxford  in 1960 and began to accompany three of my colleagues for lunch on Fridays at a delightful ‘olde-world’ pub called The Greyhound’ in Whittlesford. It was situated just off the High St on the north side, I guess where Vicarage Lane or Maynards now are. The first time I went I was rather amazed that my colleagues ordered sandwiches with a pot of tea !  I wondered if this was some sort of local custom ! On a later occasion the (very nice) barmaid vouchsafed that she thought it as odd as I did !

There was another pub off the High Street at the west end, north side, called The Brewery Tap. Only went there once; beer was off, pub lacked atmosphere and the barman was a surly East European.
