Bluecap

I remember well the Saturday Night Dances at the Bluecap Hotel in the 50's & 60's, now pulled down. The Bull's Head was more up-market. I lived at St Dominick and remember the Cattle Market. I was going to Callington Grammer School when King George V1 and family came to open the Royal Cornwall Show at Callington we all had the day off to go to the Show. There was a Youth Club where we played table tennis etc. and learnt to dance. I have nothing but fond memories of Callington.

RE: RE: Bluecap

I remember the Saturday Night Dances as well. My Grandmother Ruby MAUNDER used to run the Cloak Room and sometimes I would help her. Her husband was Bertie MAUNDER who was the Town Crier.
