The time I had a 'quick' drink drink in there I always found it to be a friendly place... the function room upstairs was well used, I'd been to many a party up there.<br />Lets hope this dark cloud has a silver lining and all it's old customers now drink in the Gardeners.Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04167792394551286975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8599481671908734427.post-83800547671223040952011-11-27T04:43:55.550+00:002011-11-27T04:43:55.550+00:00How times change.

My friend Tony Angelone's family owned it for a while, but I cannot remeber what it was called before they took it over. The chippie used to be Chapmans, him and his wife used to argue all the time which was fun to watch, and George & Kath had a newsagents on the right hand side of Ridling Lane. I used to deliver papers for them. Then you had Harolds shop on the corner of Ridling Lane & Lumn Road. So many shops closing the doors. So many memories!Graham Bootehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12883616101510198264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8599481671908734427.post-48118347830580579002011-11-27T04:31:35.444+00:002011-11-27T04:31:35.444+00:00Sad to see.Sad to see.Graham Bootehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12883616101510198264noreply@blogger.com
