My father and mother were contracted to manage the pub for a six month period when I was five which made it about 1956. I started at my first primary school just around the corner soon after arriving there. The pub had several floors including a large function room upstairs and from the windows I could view the trolley bus terminus over the road. The building was a little unsafe on the top floors and we were not allowed to go up the last staircase. My younger sister and I would normally be sent down in the cellar with a packet of Smiths crisps to get us out of the way.
