Stanwick, The Duke Of Wellington
A Memory of Stanwick.
My memory of The Duke is that this was the public house that I first ever got drunk in. I was 17 and had just joined up in the Army in Boy Service. That Christmas I was on leave and went with family friends to the Duke. I was told I was not old enough to drink and the friends said if I was old enough to wear a uniform I was old enough to drink. So the filled me up with Double Diamond Beer. It was Boxing Day 1958. People I remember being in the pub at the time were George Roast and Charlie Seamarks. I was born and bred in Stanwick, sang in the church choir, went to the local school, and had my hair cut by Jummy Morris.
