My Parents were the Landlord and Landlady between 1953 and 1957, but gave up the pub as with a 'beer only' licence, it was difficult to make ends meet. Just after they left the licence, all Pubs became beer and spirit, and the spirit was where the money was in those days. I know that the ladies hairdressers next door was the brewery part and I think that the cellar went under that shop also. Mum and Dad sold it to a chap who was into race cars – went in there last year, and still a nice place with good food.
They had the Christmas Club money nicked - Dad gave chase and was stabbed by the offender in the high street at the top of the hill – nothing changes, although that must have been about 1954. It had a new roof fitted that year. I was the darts team mascot and went on all the coach trips round Essex for the darts competitions and the annual boys trip to Clacton. I also cooked all the food for the bar and stocked the shelves.

It is only a small pub and has effectively one bar now; when we were there it had public – saloon and a little strip in the middle for off sales. **
