My grandparents, Harry and Daisy Buck, ran this pub before and during the second world war. My mother, their youngest daughter, remembers that The Man of the World did not have a spirits licence, meaning it only sold beer. The pub was struck twice with incendiary bombs during the war and had the roof burned off. It also suffered structural damage from other bombing. After the second burning of the roof the family left and moved to The Lord Stanley.
