Memories of The Fox 1905, Three Bridges
Barmaid
I worked as a barmaid in the Fox when Three Bridges had the bad flood and the pub was flooded, it was an old fashioned pub in those days with a public bar and saloon bar with darts on a Friday night, good old fashioned fun.
The Fox
My parents managed the Fox for most of the 1950' and '60's. My love of railways came from the Loco crew who drank there and gave me (unofficial) footplate rides!
Three Bridges & local memories
Read and share memories of Three Bridges and West Sussex inspired by Frith photos.
Barkers
When I was a kid I had to walk from Pound Hill to Barkers every Saturday morning to fetch a gallon of Blucole paraffin for my dad. Barkers was the local garage/taxl rank. We lived in Pearson Road and then moved to Mill Road, Three Bridges around 1960.
You can imagine 8 year old kids nowadays walking the best part of a mile there and back on their own actually out in the fresh air with no hand held gaming device to keep them happy.
The Fox
The Fox was demolished in the 1990s and replaced by a modern pub a bit further back from the main road, now called The Snooty Fox I think.
Three Bridges/Pound Hill
I lived at Cornerstones which was built for me in 1963/4, this is on Milton Mount Avenue. Both my sisters went to the Convent and then Milton Mount College.
I used to fish in the lakes at Milton Mount with my Uncle in 1950/4.
