Memories of The George Inn c1960, Hubberholme
Great Nights Out
I had the best nights out of my life in the George Inn after working at Greenfield Estate where I met my late wife Beth Connel. We married at Hubberholme Church in 1984 and moved to Horton. The George was full of local characters the landlord Bill Jones lived there with his mum (Mar) and Dad Elise who told you off if you messed with the log fire and made it smoke, a candle always burned on the bar. The Local Butcher called at 10:30pm and we all bought steak to cook for supper after hours. Folk singers came from Bradford at the weekends. The beer and company was just great in the 70s.

1952
I stayed at Netherside Hall in 1952, Mr Anderton was the headmaster. I have some vivid memories of the school and grounds, but I am hopeless with names, only a couple come to mind, John Firth, Ronnie Reeves. I was the only boy I think without asthma, I used to sneak inhalers for the other boys. I was captain of the football side, and we played on the small pitch next to the road. One of the boys fell out of the big tree opposite the hall and was badly injured. We watched the 1952 cup final on black and white TV, every afternoon we had to carry our fold-up camp beds and have an afternoon nap. We made a NNC broadcast from the hall and I remember the presenter was called Bertha Lonsdale.
