More about this scene

On the east side of Market Square was the Bull's Head Hotel, a mostly late 18th-century building which was Tudorised by Giacomo Gargini in the 1920s. A flamboyant character, and Mayor of Aylesbury in the 1930s, Gargini added the half-timbering, leaded windows and oriels, presumably to rival the genuine medieval framing of the King's Head. Demolished in 1969, it is now the entry to the early 1980s Hale Leys shopping centre.

My father was also the manager of The Bulls head hotel in the 1950s, Mr Ronald F Williams. At that time Sophia Loren was staying and she joined us for tea as my mother is Italian also, they had a good long chat. I remember sitting with my corgi called Kim in that front bay window looking at the people passing by. How lovely to see this fantastic old Hotel again and what a shame it's no longer there.
My father Bill Thomas was one of the last managers of the Bulls Head Hotel. He helped the police when they stayed at the hotel working on the Great Train Robbery.
