The Queen Victoria c1960
Enlarge photo |  More about this photo

Surfing the net I came across this photo of the Queen Vic and the memories came flooding back. I lived in Morden and every Sunday evening I along with friends went to the Jazz club there. Mostly the music was provided by Mike Daniels but also Chris Barber played there. The club room was crowded with both us young revivalists jiving around and sitting in the front were some old timers who had seen trad jazz first time around. I remember the club was run by a couple who had, I think, a pub/hotel at Berrylands (Berrylands Hotel ) and I remember our crowd going over for a drink on more than one occasion. I met my wife at the Cheam Village Hall dance and took her on many occasions to the Jazz Club. I am 70 now and I doubt if the Jazz Club is still running at the Queen Vic which I believe was demolished and replaced by a not as good looking establishment. I would love to hear from anyone else who frequented the club in the early 60's, try chrisandgordon@hotmail.com. - love to hear from you.
