Wessex has it a snooker or pool table?. I think that's where my son goes with his mates after work now and again. Bye. Jean.
 
My Husbands stepfather used to run that pub."Francis George Lawton ,purveyer of fine wines and ale".The TV studios were next door ,and staged the wrestling matches.He told how the wrestlers would be Knocking the hell out of each other in the studios and half hour later buying each other pints.
 
There used to be a house between the Sacks of Potatoes and the old Delicia,I see from these photo's the pub has extended and incorporated the house into it's building.

i had a friend in the early 60's whose parents had this pub. I think his name was Raymond spears?. All a bit vague now!!!.
