The barman answered it then shouted out, "the police are on their way".
Within a very short while my mate and I were the only ones still in the pub! |

Reminds me of a time years ago when at a night out in the Walsgrave Club, the shout went out that some factory night shift had walked out and the place emptied of housewives!!Mick Strong |

Recently purchased this antique bottle
It is embossed with SYDENHAM PALACE, COVENTRY.
It also has T. OWEN embossed around the top. It is a moulded separate top Imperial Half Pint, with the bottle makers number 849 on the bottom.
Thomas Owen was licensee from 1886 to 1913, and the pub closed in 1971 and was demolished.
Was it common for licensees to have their own bottles moulded? Mick Strong |
