All yours shoot, Bowaters Social club then the Kemsley Arms, any one recall the name of the small  pub group that owned it? Something like Thorburn or similar?

Contrary to expectations I also didn’t have a clue. However, a bit of brain strain and the penny dropped, aided I think by memories of something on the old forum as well as a 1970s event.

Think me , John Filmer & Diapasson better pass on this one. 8)


I agree granderog, too close to home. It wouldn`t be a guess, more like a certainty.

You have it Pete. Like many others around the same period I spent many an hour outside that door during the 60s waiting for the girlfriend to arrive back from her daily London commute.

Long gone John Walker. (I think it's been replaced twice.)  And you are on the right lines Pete!
