A Memory of Chessington.
I was the manager in the 70's and had a wonderful few years at the pub.l still have a carved picture of the pub, which was carved by an American G I based at Chessington. The Gate was hung up so that the pedestrians could walk past without getting wet in the water splash, which at that time ran across the road. thats where the words come from -This Gate Hangs High and Hinders None,Refresh and Pay and Travel On. People whom have resided in Chessington are Petula Clarke and Enid Blyton.

I lived at 65 Compton Crescent in Chessington until 1970, and went to Moor Lane Primary School from 63 to 67.
A class mate was David Howard, whose father was the manager/licensee of the Bonesgate at the time; I wonder if you took over from him?
I have not seen David since 67 when I went to Southborough and he went to Fleetwood.
I still have friends who live in Chessington, and visit them occasionally; it has changed a lot, but thankfully the "rec" i.e. Churchfields is still there. It always good to stroll down Memory Lane....
I lived in Buckland Road, Cheers, Steve
