Not The Post Pffice!

A Memory of Waterrow.

The house in the foreground is not the post office as the title of this postcard suggests, the post office is actually across the road in the background of the shot. The main house in the photo was known as Pink House and was where my gran and grandad lived for many years - Bill and Gladys Webber.

Thank you for this information - I have passed it to our Archivist who will make the necessary changes. Ed

Dear Hilary. Thank you for your memory posted here. My name is Julian my great uncle and aunt owned the Rock inn opposite the Post Office (run by the Quick Family) at Waterrow from mid 50's to 1964. Some of the names I remember was a Mrs Germany who lived up the side road, she had a cuckoo clock at 3pm my aunt and I would join her for afternoon teas. Mrs Blackmore Shirley Pearce and Aunty Topsy worked at the Rock Inn. I have a few pictures/postcard that my uncle arrange with Mrs Douglas Allen from Bridgwater these date 1968 and 1963. Patrons of my uncle's pub would allow me to sit in their cars. Ron Moody and Mr Nation. Tues and Thursday coaches would stop for morning coffees. There were two bars one had a thatched roof with animals and birds on the top. the other was larger and had a Polython (large disc playing music box one old penny per tune. Table skittles and shove half penny. Uncle Jim had a black labrador called Carlo he would follow up to to the steep sloping garden to the back of the Inn. My uncle drove a dark Green Standard vanguard a beetleback ( I think they called it) Happy days. If anyone has any pictures of the snows in 1962 I would love to see them or any cine film from 1950- 1964. Thank you Julian Bishop
