Bookies on College Road..

[tresario]

Hello
Can anyone help me with the name of the bookies that was up by the Hawthorne pub on College Road, between 1960-1975..

I believe the son or the owner married a Janet from around Perry Common Road way.

Dont know any other information, the info is to jog the memory of my elderly mother who says regularly.."you know him that had the"..

Thanks all
Bernie
