The Old Crown At Bookham 1960`s

A Memory of Great Bookham.

Spent a few evenings in here. Used to meet up with my pals for a jar or two. There was Nigel Bennett, Martin & Chris Lodge, Dennis & Ken Peachey, and many others. Happy days.

My grandfather, Henry Griffiths, played here with his dance band during WW2. He was also church organist. There is a small crucifix above and behind the pulpit with his name engraved on the back. He lived at 7 Beckley Cottages with my grandmother Florence, nee Amey. My great grandmother, Emily Amey was church cleaner and would pop into the Crown jug and bottle for a quart of stout to take home. She'd hide it under her coat so nobody would see.
I was never used the Crown much during the 1970's preferring the Royal Oak and the Anchor.
