When I was 11yrs old in 1957 I used to lived at the "Manor Tavern" pub in Portland St. The pub is still there today. My Aunt Betty Middleham used to run it with uncle Frank. Me and my cousin Johnny used to sleep in the corner bedroom, right opposite the huge (Ansells better beer) neon sign that constantly flashed from red to red & green then off, then back to red again 24hrs a day!
