My mum and dad (Reg and Trix Holland) ran the Artichoke, for I think, a year, in 1965. They had run The Swan Hotel in Rickmansworth High Street from August 25th 1955 to September 12th 1964 when it was unbelievably pulled down for redevelopment! Within a couple years, any building with a bit of history, had a Preservation Order slapped on it! I have a list of the Tenants there from 1656 to 1964! My parents then moved back to Essex, where my grandparents had run pubs and hotels, and took over The Victory Inn, at Ashingdon for ten years until they retired in 1975. They are both dead now. *
