Hi, My name is Paul Tapley and my Grandfather Vic Tapley, Grandmother Lillian (Lil) Tapley with my father Anthony ( Tony) Tapley ran the paper shop next to the Vic from 1962 until I think the late 60's. I remember that my grandparents were customers of the Vic and now clearly remember the name Bubbles and Freddie who ran the pub at that time. I lived at the paper shop, 7 Bridge Street , from 1962 until about 1965. I was 4 when I arrived. My parents and grandparents moved from London to Wye. Interestingly I was a Police Officer at Sheerness from 1977 until 1980 and I clearly remember New Years Eve celebrations when the locals tried to climb the Clock Tower and we had to try and stop them!! Not always successful. Great memories
