The Licensee during WW2 was my Grandma Annie Cooke. There was a “rose garden “ in the yard behind the pub where I used to play on my bike. I was four or five at the time I seem to remember that my Grandma fell down the cellar steps and broke her leg. Whilst she was recovering in bed I sometimes used to sit on her bed and she would make up stories about Hitler and draw funny pictures of him. She had a dog called Bonzo who used to get the dray horses to kick a ball which he would then chase down the street. I think Courtaulds had a factory nearby and their workers used to come in at lunchtime for a pint and a game of dominos. There was a spare room upstairs which held a number of new car tyres and boxes of soap and I can still remember the overpowering smell of rubber and soap Christmas there was also very exciting for me even though we were in the middle of the war
