The Papermaker's Arms

A Memory of Hawley.

My grandparents, Bill and Jean Woodward, were the publicans of the Papermaker's Arms when I was born in 1953. My uncle John Woodward also ran it for a while. I am the daughter of their middle son Ronald, who sadly died in 2009. As a child I used to play on the piano and the drum kit in the games room when the pub was closed. I used to spend hours riding my red tricycle around the beer garden, stopping to feed the chickens on the way around. I have such fond memories of my childhood visits to Hawley, and a lot of funny stories to tell, relating to the pub.
