Villa Street

[Lelou]

wonderful info as usual kieron..its always like reading a book...i guessed that the villa tavern must have closed early 60s as i do not remember it but as i have just read it closed in 1960 so i would only have been 7 years old...thanks also for the refs to the queens head corner of hunters vale/farm st...very interesting as that pub also has a family link
