Hi Phil
You never cease to amaze me mate, was told a good story yesterday by my dads cousin who lived in the street before the war.
My grandad and his brother went to the Gate inn on a sunday morning, but he was late getting home to his dinner,when he entered the house my nan chased him back out with a leg of lamb in her hand and threw it at him,hitting him on the head !, the kids retrieved it from the garden,dusted it down and put it back in the oven.
My grandad went to his moms just across he road
This was of course pre 1936 as he died in that year.
I googled it today and went on the street view,I am a little confused at it appears to be a resturant but has the gate inn sign stillon the side?
Has it changed that much?
