Dave Bean 1960s/70s Publican was an ex merchant seaman called Jim. The next one was called George Moody another merchant seaman a steward.His wife was called Netta she was Dutch. When you walked into the pub it was like walking into the front room of a house. There was a 'back room' and the toilets were outside in the yard.It was always full as it was situated close to docklands and lots of industry. Sanderson's paint works and Smith & Nephews and fish houses.
Jim Comrie 1979 I was a student at the school of architecture in Strand Close, a converted Victorian Board school, but lived in a Hessle Road shamfour. Nice pint of Mild in the Neptune. The Landlord had a brass contraption like a mini Trombone, which he 'played' then handed it to me to play...of course it was a trick I discovered, to the assembled amused regulars, as it sprayed me with talc as I blew. Happy days! Lovely friendly spot and good beer.
