Standard Public House

A Memory of Haverhill.

I moved here with my parents and brother back in 1969, my parents John & Joan were the first publicans in the new Standard Public House on the Parkway, we moved from Cambridge into this new and exciting phase of our lives, hardly a car parked anywhere along Queensway, doors were left unlocked and the norm was for us children to play outside all day, climbing trees and all that jazz, happy days. Both my parents were blessed with some fantastic customers who became good friends too many too mention here but great people and great days, unfortunatley ill health made them give up the reigns in the middle eighties and by 2000 the pub had been demolished to make way for the new, both of my parents have passed on but I still live in Haverhill and my roots are well and truly planted here, if anyone has any photographs from the Standard days please do put them up it would be great too see them.....
