William Anstey was my grandfather. He was the proprietor of the Baltic Tavern in Chapel Road, Southampton, in 1940 at the time it was bombed during World War II. My grandparents, my aunt and her baby daughter (my cousin), and the dog, Gyp, had taken refuge from the bombing in the basement of the Baltic Tavern (where the beer barrels were stored). They were later rescued unharmed, the only casualty being the canary, Joey, in the dining room upstairs, who died of shock. *

William Anstey later became the proprietor of the Pensioners Arms. He had spent 25 years at sea in the Royal Navy and 20 years in the Merchant Navy.
He was an honourable man and respected by all who knew him. Born on Branksea Island (now known as Brownsea Island) in 1877, he died at the age of ninety-one.  *
