When these were taken I should think that Walter Mansfield would have been in charge.... and when I say in charge, that goes for the customers as well.
There was no smooching when Walter was around... and if caught couples could expect a warning over the P.A. system.

There was something very quaint about the Hares and Hounds in the Walter Mansfield era... anyone remember the bells that you could press to get waiter service?
ReplyDeleteYes I remember the bell pushes in the Hare and Hounds, (They're still in The Grapes but obviously not functional).
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure about the first picture being from the Walter Mansfield era, I don't remember food being served, apart from Smiths crisps with the little blue paper twist with salt in!
I do remember we used to call him the Mayor of Gee Cross!
You could well be right with the the dating John... maybe they were after Walters time...
