Dee View Inn
At the age of just under 18 I used to enjoy a drink with friends in the bar of the 'Dee View'. My father also enjoyed a drink in the snug; whenever he came in, through the side door, I would be warned "Your dad has arrived!" and would make a quick exit via the front door. One night my father came in through the front door, and I had no chance of escape. "What are you doing here?" he asked. Wishing that I was somewhere else, anywhere but the bar of the 'Dee View', I made an inane reply and awaited his wrath. "Well, as you are here you had better have a drink" he said, and he bought a pint of beer for each of my mates and I, adding "And don't let me see any of you in here again until it's legal". So I never set foot inside a pub until .. ??
During the Second World War years the 'Dee View Inn' was managed by by 'Ma' Dale, her daughter Norah and Norah's husband, Percy Birch.
