Great to hear you still remember with fondness the Oaklands. We lost dad in 1991 but mum stayed healthy and fit until 2010 when at 90 she quietly faded away.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8599481671908734427.post-64795033413832171142013-04-13T12:22:44.211+01:002013-04-13T12:22:44.211+01:00Correction to last comment, I put Roger Taylor whe...Correction to last comment, I put Roger Taylor when I actually meant the message for John Taylor, sorry about that!

The staircase as you mention and the lodge room, the ladies bar and the cellars. I also ran the bar in the evenings just after starting work at Cable shoes age 14.

I have very fond memories of the Oaklands as we held our lovely wedding reception there in 1966, we had a superb meal, then dancing to a three piece band, it was a great place to have a reception, very cosy and welcoming. Then in 1969 my mum and dad held their Silver Wedding there, my little girl Jill aged 8 months slept in a cot in an upstairs room, all the staff were really nice.Trishnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8599481671908734427.post-52648303756830098192013-04-03T08:36:13.985+01:002013-04-03T08:36:13.985+01:00I read this and was totally absorbed in the story....I read this and was totally absorbed in the story.. great memories.<br />Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04167792394551286975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8599481671908734427.post-49176967973561134942013-04-03T08:15:00.315+01:002013-04-03T08:15:00.315+01:00Sounds just like "Just William"!Sounds just like "Just William"!<br />Marjorienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8599481671908734427.post-30993904964700349072013-04-03T00:53:07.473+01:002013-04-03T00:53:07.473+01:00Dave Hamilton......
