Grandmother

hi, the jolly potter was a well used public house until the last few years where it suffered serious decline mainly due to the closing of coal mines and the fall of heavy industries in the area, (thanks to maggie thatcher) it was recently bought by a chinese family where it has been turned into a restaurant and takeaway, which is making a good start up to now, i am not aware of any price family, but a mrs rutter did run a shop in grasswell which is the next pit village down the lane approx, half a mile this shop closed around 1950-55 and i believe, while writing this i remember the next shop along in grasswell was run by a price who retired from there and sold the shop as recent as 2005 they moved on to washington new town, i hope this helps, regards, R.LEADBITTER.
