Peter I was at Fircroft in 1973, long time ago but it does have some link if I remember correctly. If the present staff are anything like they were in 1973, a phone call will give you an answer. Any time I travel past a smile comes across my face. Is it not time for a visit to the old place...

Hi Jack, many thanks for photo. Back in 1968 I would have be an 16 year old which would have been much different to 16 year old of today. My father would purchase the odd bottle of Cider which a bottle would last me all week. For Christmas he would give me a gallon bottle which had to last into...

Jollyjack, we are looking at history and at times its difficult to put building into place. Using old maps helps, the way I described going from All Sants Rd - Ellen St. Puts the streets into place. I was at Brookfields (Ellen) St School from 1957-1963, and played with then my school mates who...

I was in the cellar of the Gun Makers last night, looking to see if I could see where the trap door could have been. But if you look at the steps down to cellar they are old, I'm not saying you are not correct, over the years a lot of changes have been made. If you look outside you can see...

I have been in the Gun Makers many times on my own with doors locked. In the cellar to hear foot steps in the bar other staff also report similar stories. Nick ‍♂️.
