My Uncle was telling me he used to earn a couple of bob Bailing the water out of the Pub cellers, when it had rained heavy the Spark used to overflow, at the bottom of Stoney Lane when he was a boy

Hi Jackie
The name is Phil, This pub the Lion & Lamb which stood on the corner of Highgate Rd and Stoney Lane is probably the pub that your uncle used to bale out. It was notorious for the cellars flooding. It is probably why it was the first pub in the area to be closed.
Where was your mom and dads shop on Stoney Lane you never know I may have used it at sometime.

Hi Phil
The shop was at 44 Stoney Lane I think it would have been just over the Road from the Lion and Lamb
I have a photo of my Dad standing in the doorway of the shop, I will look it out
When the shop was bombed my Mom and Dad moved to Ivor Road
