I have attached a snippet of an obituary of my uncle. As you can see he was the licensee of the Village Maid and also the Wagon and Horses,Aston. I don't know what years are involved, perhaps someone can tell me.I would also like to see a picture, it would be nice.

Not your fault Lyn, i am going over that way soon (i Hope) will have a look at it now, i might go and look at the new Church as well . Max
 
sorry to disapoint you again max...im sure the village maid is not there anymore:(

lyn
 
very happy to post this long awaited pic of the village maid...finch road...i wonder if someone could confirm that the building to the right of it was baines bakery..

lyn
 
Baines is listed as 2 finch road, whereas The village maid was 10 Fich rd, so I would think it unlikely
 
thanks mike..i was not sure if baines was right next door to the pub or a few doors away...

cheers for clearing that one up for me...

Hi Terry I'm Dawn, Fred Frost was my dad. I remember living in the village maid.It was the pub my dad retired from. I put the obituary in the paper because in Alsager to be near us and the kids. Thanks Dawn Cairns nee Frost
 
hello dawn and welcome...sad to say but terry passed away a couple of years ago...he was a lovely man..if you see the words gone but not forgotten under a members user name this means that they are no longer with us..
