I'm actually asking if anyone has any Memories , or knows of any stories about the Crown and Horseshoes in the 1930s .

If anyone knows anything about the old lady thought to Haunt the Pub , that would be wonderful too ! Thank you, Sally

I lived in Gardenia road as a child and my father used to go here on a Thursday night as they had some sort of gun club. a relic from the war I think. They also always had a fish stall on a Sunday Lunch time . Winkles and shrimps. I also had a Saturday job in the snack bar in the pool one Summer I couldn’t have been very old, I was there with the Webb girls from Leighton Road. How the time has flown.
