Memories of Red Lion c1960, Horseheath
The Red Lion
In 1938 my father was landlord of the Red Lion - I was just 6 years old but remember it clearly. I have a photo of my father standing on the front steps and the frontage is still clearly recognisable. At the time, all the lighting was by oil lamps and you had to go down a steep flight of stairs into the cellar to draw every pint of beer. My father also organised the village cricket team. I attended the village school and have very happy memories of the time there.

My Great Grandparents
My Great Grandad Frederick Ashfield was the Post Master at this Post Office, I have a photograph of him standing outside, where it looked like a grocery shop, I have a distant memory of being inside the Post Office, as a young child I remember the house next door where we use to visit my Great Grandparents, they lived in this house I believe when they retired, in the 1960s.
