Tea Gardens Pub Grimesthorpe Road

Recommended Posts

hi guys

does anyone remember the (Tea Gardens) on grimesthorpe road.

i remember my parents ,aunts and uncles going there in early to late 60's.

Its still standing all on its own and its in a sorry state.

My first memory of the tea gardens was when a large crowd were walking up ditchingham road after coming out of the pub.they were helping a woman up the hill in an black astrocan coat .turns out it was my mum beingg helped by the family .first time i had seen anyone drunk before .

It was still open in 1984 as it was part of the Wards pub hunt.

My cousin Rodney Turton and his wife Ann ran this pub in the late 1970s. We called a few times and the place was spotless and comfortable.It was also busy.....the good old days....who would buy a pub today?
