My dad, Frank Gaskin frequented the Barrel in the sixties, we lived on Hanley Street and he worked at Elliotts Plastics on Summer Lane. Is there another pub on Summer Lane closer to Hanley Street?

Hi. No, sorry, no brother named Sammy, or cousins Sandra and Colin, though I did go to school (St Chad's) with a Sandra Gaskin, but we were not related, as far as we knew.
My Dad was from Ireland.
