The Gardeners Arms
A Memory of Brentwood.
My name is Peter McGuire and i lived at the Gardeners Arms Pub in 1971-1972. I worked at Selo's Film factory on shift work. Reg who owned the pub back then let me arrive at odd hours which made live easier. I shared a house in Ongar road with 3 other young men, near the Robin Hood pub,which was owned by an ex West Ham player Brian Dear and drank with most of the team on Saturday night. , but found my self with nowhere to stay. The Arms was a lorry driver sleep over but nights only. Reg and his wife took pity on me and let me stay all week at 30 shillings a night. and also feed me most days. I also worked as a barman at the pub opposite the Harold Wood Hospital.. I returned to Australia in December 1972. Brentwood was my local town when i grew up in Chipping Ongar on the Shelliey estate in the 1950's., for cinema, swimming pool .
