Best Friend

My best friend Glenda Prior lived in the Gloster Arms with her mum and dad, this would have been in the 1970s. I have so many happy memories of our time together, practicing the "Greaser " dance in the snug ! So sad to hear that it has closed .Memories live on when the building is closed.
