More about this scene

This is a scene that we seldom come across these days – a traffic jam caused by a lorry meeting a herd of cows walking to, or perhaps from, their milking parlour. The pub is the Nag's Head Inn. Traditionally pubs of this name were places where you could hire a horse; such animals would obviously be 'nags', as no-one would hire out good quality horses to all and sundry.

The Green Lantern

This was owned by a Mother and Daughter; the daughter is still alive and lives next to my sister on Wallcroft, off Hadlow Road. I remember a cafe as you walked in right in front of the door, and on the right was a little tuck shop where you could get sweets. It was like going back the 18th century. I cannot remember their names, I will have to call my sister to ask her. Wonderful times. My father and myself and my sisters were all born in Willaston. My father was John Thomas Sumner.
