My parents Joseph and Christine Winfield owned this pub, it was a lovely place to live and play, the pub was huge and full of antiques, had my parents kept them they would be worth a fortune now. Summers were wonderful, we used to have secret places where we would find edible mushrooms and pick lovely violets. At the back of the pub we had orchards full of fruit trees, also we used to collect fresh eggs from the chickens. The beer used to come down on barges in barrels, I think they still do today. I would love to go back to those simple happy days. Does anyone remember me or my sister Yvonne or any of my family?If so, I would love to hear from you.
